Checking/adding brake fluid
The brake fluid reservoir is located at the front left in the cabin (near the
brake/inching pedal).
Danger of accident due to poor quality of brake fluid or
non-permitted low brake fluid level!
Failure to observe this can cause serious injury or death.
► Check the brake fluid in the reservoir once a day before starting
machine travel.
► Top off brake fluid up to the "MAX" mark of the sight glass.
► If the braking system loses too much brake fluid, have the braking
system checked by an authorised service centre.
► The brake fluid must comply with the specification (ATF)
– see “Fluids and lubricants” on page 7-12.
► The brake fluid must be replaced every 2 years by an authorized
service centre.
If the fluid level is in the MIN range of the sight glass:
1. Clean the area around the opening with a clean cloth.
2. Open reservoir cover A.
3. Add brake fluid up to the MAX range on the sight glass.
➥ Use only ATF brake fluid – see “Fluids and lubricants” on page 7-12.
4. Close reservoir cover A.
5. Immediately wipe away brake fluid spills.
