shift the directional control lever to forward and then

position.
5. Open the access door in floor plate.
6. Remove the dipstick/filter cap. Observe the oil level.
7. Maintain the oil level between the Min and Max
marks on the dipstick/filter cap.
When the oil temperature is 40°C approximately,
the cold side mark on the dipstick is applicable.

Mast Channels – Lubricate
The channels on the roller-type mast require a break-in
period. Apply a light film of lubricant on the channels
where the rollers ride. This will prevent metal peel until
the rollers set a pattern.
Brake Oil Level – Check
The brake reservoir is located on the left side of the
steering column.
1. Remove the filler cap.
2. Maintain the brake fluid level to the fluid level mark
on the brake system reservoir.
3. Clean the filter cap and install it again.
