7.5 Prepare work operation
1. Make sure that the delivery hoses and couplings are in perfect condition
and correctly connected (see Section 7.4).
Risk of injury due to hazardous materials.
Spillage of oil in the motor compartment can cause fires and toxic fumes.
− Wipe off spilled oil (hydraulic oil, compressor oil, oil for diesel motors)
directly with an absorbent cloth.
− Use a funnel when filling.
− Only carry out work after the machine has cooled down sufficiently.
2. Check the oil level on the diesel motor. Proceed as follows:
Figure 42: Check oil level
− Pull out the oil dipstick (1) when the motor is warm and wipe it
with a lint-free cloth or absorbent paper.
− Then insert the oil dipstick (1) and pull it out again after 10 s.
− Carry out a visual inspection of the oil dipstick (1). The oil must be
between the MIN and MAX marks. If the oil level is near MIN or
below MIN, a corresponding amount of oil must be topped up via
the oil filler neck (2).
➢ The oil must not exceed the MAX mark.
