6. Add oil if necessary thru the filler tube, Fig. 5.54 upon the removal of the filler cap. The oil level
should be visible in the sight gauge. Refer to "REFILL SPECIFICATIONS AND CAPACITIES
CHART".
IMPORTANT: If the oil level is above the sight gauge, drain the oil until the level is in the middle of
the sight gauge. Too much oil in the transmission will cause aeration of the oil.

1. With the oil at the operating temperature, park the machine on level ground. Lower the bucket
to the ground, apply the parking brake and stop the engine. Install the frame locking bar.
