57 MAINTENANCE
B
Checking Engine Oil Level
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Stop the engine and remove the key before
checking the oil level.
A Use engine oil with the correct viscosity. (according to
the outside temperature)
A
After stopping the engine and remove the key, wait 5
minutes, then check the oil level. (Machine must be on
level ground.)
A A small amount of fuel used for DPF-regeneration may
get mixed with the engine oil, which can increase the
oil level slightly.
A Do not attempt to repeat or interrupt the regeneration
process unnecessarily. Doing so can increase the
small amount of fuel that gets mixed with the engine
oil, thereby degrading it.
A If the oil rises above the oil level gauge upper limit, it
means the oil has been diluted too much, resulting in
a trouble. In such case, immediately change the oil for
new one.
To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
replace it and draw it out again. Check to see that the oil
level lies between the two notches.
If the level is too low, add new oil to the prescribed level
at the oil filling port.
B
Checking Hydraulic Oil Level
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Stop the engine and remove the key before
checking the oil level.
A Before filling oil, wipe away all sand and dust from
around the oil port. Make sure to use an identical type
of hydraulic fluid.
A
The machine has been filled with hydraulic fluid before
delivery. See
"RECOMMENDED OILS" section.
(Do not mix different oils.)
1. Park the machine on a firm, flat and level surface.
Lower the lift arms slowly to the ground, tilt down the
attachments and stop the engine.
2. Check the oil level as to whether it lies on the center of
the gauge at normal temperature (10 C to 30 C).
3. Enough oil is present if the oil level lies near the center
of the gauge.
4. Should the oil level be too low, fill up with oil through
the oil port before starting the engine.
This step is important for the protection of the hydraulic
system.
