- check indicator "A" to ensure that the hydraulic oil level reaches up to about 5
mm from the upper edge of the inspection window
- if necessary, remove COVER 6 (see paragraph "COVERS" in this chapter),
remove the filler cap (B), and fill up oil (see also "OIL TABLE" in chapter

NOTE! To ensure the machine's optimum performance, regularly
check oil level in the hydraulic system, and top up oil if necessary.
