3. Locate the sight glass (A) that is provided on the right
side of the tank. It indicates the oil level and any signs
of contamination.

No oil in the sight glass indicates that the oil level
is below the add mark on the dipstick. The sight
glass is viewable with the hood open or closed.
4. Ensure the hydraulic oil level is between the low and
full indicator marks.
5. If more oil is required to maintain the level between
the low and full indicator marks, refer to

DANGER
• NEVER use force on an in
fl
ated or partially in
fl
ated tire. Make sure the tire is correctly seated before
in
fl
ating to operating pressure.
• Do NOT remove, install, or make repairs to a tire on a rim unless you have the proper equipment and
experience to perform the job. Take the tire and rim to a quali
fi
ed tire repair shop.
• If the tire is NOT in correct position on the rim or if over-in
fl
ated, the tire bead can loosen on one side,
causing air to leak at high speed and with great force. An air leak of this nature can thrust the tire in any
direction, endangering anyone in the area.
DANGER
To avoid bodily injury or death from unexpected startup of the machine, always stop the engine and remove
the key from the ignition before leaving the operator’s seat for any reason.
Visually check daily that tires have not lost pressure. Adjust pressure as required. Under-in
fl
ated drive tires can
cause sidewall cracks.
Measure tire pressure with a gauge every year. Maintain tire pressure as follows:
1. Shut down the engine and remove key.
2. Determine the type and size of tire that is installed on your machine.
