WARNING
●
When removing the oil filler cap, oil may spurt out, so
turn the cap slowly to release the internal pressure
before removing the cap.
●
If oil has been added to above the H mark, stop the
engine and wait for the hydraulic oil to cool down, then
drain the excess oil from drain plug (P).
1. If the work equipment is not in the condition shown in the dia-
gram on the right, start the engine run the engine at low
speed, retract the arm and bucket cylinders, then lower the
boom, set the bucket teeth in contact with the ground, and
stop the engine.
2. Check sight gauge (G). The oil level is normal if between the
H and L marks.
NOTE: Do not add oil if the level is above the H line. This will
damage the hydraulic equipment and cause the oil to
spurt out.
