SERVICE PROCEDURE
CHECK AXLE OIL LEVEL, ADD OIL
WARNING
When checking the oil level, apply the parking brake and secure the front and rear frames with the frame lock bar.
After stopping the engine, the parts and oil are at a high temperature. Wait for the temperature to go down before starting the
operation.
Perform this procedure if there is any sign of oil on the axle case.
Inspect the machine on a horizontal surface.
(If the road surface is at an angle, the oil level cannot be checked correctly.)
