level is between the marks on the dipstick. 
Top up with oil if necessary, through the oil 
filler hole. NOTE. Do not top up above the 
max mark.  MD11: Check that the dipstick is 
screwed down so that no leakage can occur.

CHECKS EVERY 14 days 

 

OIL LEVEL IN REVERSE GEAR 
 

Unscrew the dipstick, wipe it clean and 
insert it again without screwing it down. Pull 
up the dipstick and check the oil level, 
which should be between the marks. If 
necessary top up with oil. Do not top up 
above the Max mark. 
 
Screw down the dipstick again. Note that 
there is a sealing washer on the dipstick.
