Check the fuel filter (C) for water and debris.
IMPORTANT: Drain water into a suitable contain-
er and dispose of properly.
1. Loosen two or three turns drain plug (A) at bot-
tom of fuel filter.
2. Loosen air bleed plug (B) two full turns on fuel
filter mounting and drain water from bottom until
fuel starts to drain out.
3. When fuel starts to drain out, tighten drain plug
securely.
After draining water from the fuel filter, the filter must
be primed by bleeding all air from the fuel system.
Refer to the fuel bleeding procedure on page 53.
A drain plug is also provided in the bottom of the fuel
tank for removing condensation and other foreign
materials. Open the plug and allow water and fuel to
drain into a container until only clear fuel is flowing
from the tank.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
With the machine on level ground, and the engine
stopped for ten minutes or more, remove the engine oil
dipstick. Wipe it clean, re-insert it and remove to
obtain a reading. If the oil level is below the crosshatch
pattern on the dipstick, fill with the required amount of
oil to bring the level to within the crosshatch pattern.
Oil levels anywhere within the crosshatch are consid-
ered full. See the Lubrication chapter for the type of oil
to use.
CHECKING RADIATOR COOLANT LEVEL
With the machine on level ground, remove the radiator
cap. If the coolant level is below the filler neck, add a
low-silicate ethylene glycol based coolant mixed with
quality water and supplemental coolant additives
(SCAs) suitable for heavy-duty diesel engines. See
your engine manual for additional information.
Replace the radiator cap securely.
NOTE: If the engine is operated with a loose radi-
ator cap, the pressure bypass will not work and
the engine will run hot.
CHECKING TRANSMISSION OIL
LEVEL
The machine must be on level ground. With the engine
and transmission at operating temperature, parking
brake on, transmission in neutral and engine speed at
low idle, remove the access cover to the transmission
and hydraulic pump. Remove the dipstick and check
the oil level. Add the required amount of oil to bring
the level to the FULL mark. See the Lubrication chap-
ter for the type of oil to use.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
The machine must be on level ground with boom low-
ered and completely retracted. The fluid MUST be cool
when checking the reservoir level, to reduce the possi-
bility of overfilling the hydraulic system.
Locate the filler cap next to the side-view mirror on the
right side of the machine. Remove the filler cap and
check the level on the dipstick. Oil levels anywhere
between the mark on the dipstick and the bottom of the
dipstick is considered full. If the oil does not register
on the dipstick, fill with the required type of oil to
bring the level to within the FULL area. See the
Lubrication chapter for the type of oil to use.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when removing the
reservoir filler cap so that no dirt or other foreign
matter enters the hydraulic system. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
CHECKING BRAKE RESERVOIR LEV-
ELS
Flip up the cover on the cab floor in front of the seat.
Remove both reservoir covers to check the fluid levels.
If low, fill to the proper level with the correct fluid. See
the Lubrication chapter for the type of fluid to use.
CHECKING TIRE PRESSURES
To ensure proper operating stability and extend tire
life, proper and equal tire pressure should be main-
tained in all four tires.
Check tire pressures “cold.” Inflate as necessary per
the chart below:
15.00 x 19.5 - 12 PR: 60 psi (415 kPa)
WARNING
DO NOT remove the radiator cap when the
engine is running hot or overheated. Coolant
is extremely hot and under pressure and it can
burn your skin. Allow sufficient time for the
radiator to cool BEFORE relieving the pres-
sure and removing the radiator cap.
