5.23 OPERATION 2
Oil level: Transmission, rear final drive and hydraulic lift.
WARNING: If leak is found and any other defect that cause the oil level to drop, immediate
action is required to avoid any damage to mechanical systems. Check at regular intervals the
oil level in the gearbox, the rear final drives and in the hydraulic lift and steering circuits.
Park the tractor on the flat ground, stop the engine and lower the hydraulic lift links. Remove
the dipstick (i) and check the oil level.
NOTE! Allow the oil to settle in the transmission and rear final
drives before checking the level.
The oil level in the transmission must be over the midline
between the minimum and maximum marks of the dipstick
(Fig.5-4) with the lift link in the up position. If needed fill up
through the position to the required level with oil of prescribed
type. When operating extreme hydraulics, such as hydraulic
front loaders, rams motors etc. that require a certain amount of
oil top up the additional oil of about 3-5 liters oil. This ensures a
correct oil level in the transmission at any time.
NOTE: The level must never be under the Min. mark when using
external hydraulics. The level must always be between the Min and
Max marks.
NOTE: When working with the tractor with the slopes, add extra liters of oil to guarantee a minimum
oil level even in the most difficult conditions.
