7. Hydraulic oil level
Hydraulic oil tank ller is located on the front of the boom,
under a hatch.
Hydraulic oil level can be checked with the dipstick in
the ller. Lock the boom with the boom service support
to access the ller opening. Do not let any contaminants
enter the hydraulic oil tank when you open the ller cap.
Remember to use the service
support (page 30)
The oil level should be approximately at the lower mark of
the dipstick (1) when the loader boom is up.
Tighten the dipstick on its threads for measurement. Rell
when necessary, but never exceed the upper limit mark
(2). Overll can cause oil to overow when lowering the
boom.

mark when hydraulic system
is cold.The area highlighted
in the adjacent gure shows
approximately the acceptable
level.
2 The second mark on the
dipstick indicates the max
level of hydraulic oil. Oil can
reach this level when the
hydraulic system is hot.
Never overll the hydraulic oil
tank. Oil can ow over, or foam

the dipstick cap which should
be cleaned or changed once a
year.
