fully, tilt the mast forward fully and
retract all cylinders on any attachments.

off position, then remove the key.
4. Check the oil level on the sight glass
(A) on the left hand side of the
hydraulic tank.
5. The oil level should be approximately
half way between the top and bottom of
the sight glass.
6. If necessary top up with oil of the same grade and quality as that in the tank.
