Check
Fluid Levels

Check Engine Oil Level

 1.  Use the dipstick (

A, Figure 10

) to check the engine 

oil level.  If necessary add engine oil.  Check engine 
manufacturer’s owner’s manual for oil recommendations.

Check Hydraulic Oil Level

NOTE: Do not open the hydraulic reservoir unless oil is being 

added.

 1.  Before removing the reservoir cap, make sure the area 

around the reservoir cap and fill neck of the reservoir is 
free of dust, dirt, or other debris.

 2.  Unscrew the reservoir cap (

B, Figure 11

).

 3.  Look down the filler neck of the hydraulic oil reservoir 

(

A, Figure 11

) and observe the oil level.  When cold, the 

oil level should be approximately 4” (10 cm) below top 
of the filler neck.

 4.  If necessary, add SAE 20W-50 motor oil.  DO NOT use 

synthetic oils.

 5.  Reinstall the reservoir cap.

Figure 12.  Checking Tire Pressure

Check Tire Pressures

Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and 
maintained at the levels shown in the chart. Note that these 
pressures may differ slightly from the “Max Inflation” 
stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown 
provide proper traction, improve cut quality, and extend tire 
life.
