Examine the hydraulic oil level
The hydraulic oil tank is located on the right side of the machine.
1 Inspect the oil level from the sight glass (A).
Make sure the lift boom is down when inspecting the level.
2 If necessary, add the recommended hydraulic oil through the
filler cap (B).
NOTE
If you have to add oil to the hydraulic oil tank, be careful to keep the
oil free of other fluids or impurities. Impurities damage the hydraulic
system. Filter the oil before adding it into the tank.
Change the hydraulic oil
CAUTION
Avoid skin contact with oil. Use protective gloves.
IMPORTANT
Be careful not to discharge oil into the environment. Use an appro‐
priate container, and deliver the oil to a hazardous waste collection
point.
Take care to ensure absolute cleanliness. Impurities in oil cause
damage to the system.
