allow the entry of dirt and contaminants into the
engine. This could adversely affect engine perfor-
mance and result in engine damage.
NOTE: After replacing the filter element, reset the
restriction indicator by pressing the reset button.

Check the fluid level in the clutch fluid reservoir.
The reservoir is full when the fluid level is up to the
MAX mark. The fluid level must always be above
the MIN mark. Use only heavy-duty brake fluid,
DOT 3, in the hydraulic-clutch system.

Check the engine oil level
(Fig. 9.1).
The oil level should show between the upper and
lower marks on the dipstick. Add enough oil to bring
the level up to the operating range. See the engine
manufacturer’s operation and maintenance manual
for recommended lubricants and capacities.
CAUTION
Operating the engine with the oil level below the
low mark or above the high mark could result in en-
gine damage.
14.
Check the oil level in the automatic transmission (if
equipped).
NOTE: The fluid must be warm to ensure an accu-
rate check. The fluid level rises as temperature in-
creases.
With the vehicle on a level surface, check the oil
level in the transmission using one of the following
procedures:
