WARNING! Wear hand and eye protection when draining hot fluids.
WARNING! Before servicing the engine, be sure the bucket is lowered to the
ground, the transmission shift lever is locked in neutral (N), the parking brake is
applied, electrical system disconnect switch is off, and the key removed. Tag the
machine.
5.11.1. CHECKING THE CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL
1. Open the engine side door on the right side of the machine.
2. Check the oil level using dipstick 1, Fig. 5.29.
3. The oil level should be between L and H marks, Fig. 5.30. Add oil if necessary thru filler port (2,
Fig. 5.29). Check the oil level daily. Never start the engine when the oil level is below L mark (too
low) or above H (too high) at the dipstick (see Fig. 5.30). Check the oil level prior to starting the
engine or at least 5 minutes after stopping the engine. This allows the oil to drain back into the
crankcase.
IMPORTANT: Park the loader on level ground for correct oil level reading.

2. Remove the castellated nut protecting automatic valve 1, Fig. 5.32. Install drain hose (included
in the machine accessories) on the open thread. Drain valve will be opened automatically as the
hose nut is thread in. Drain the oil completely to a container.
WARNING! Avoid direct contact of hot oil with your skin. Hot oil can cause
personal injury.
