Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil
level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic
system problems.
1
Be sure that the engine is off, the frame is level
and the boom is in the stowed position.
2
Visually inspect the sight gauge located on the
side of the hydraulic oil tank.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be
halfway in the sight gauge.
3
Add oil as needed. Do not overfill.
