Check / Add Engine Oil
CAUTION: Securely install the oil level gauge
and filler cap after checking the oil level and
refilling with the oil. If the oil level gauge falls
during the operation, the hot oil spouts out of
the pan, causing burns.
CAUTION:
• See "LUBRICATING OIL" on page 5-14 for
which oil to be used. Using other oil than
those specified may shorten the life of the
engine. Be sure to refill with the specified
oil.
• Keep the engine oil at the appropriate level.
• The oil level being too high will result in too
much oil consumption and this tends to
increase the oil temperature, deteriorating
the oil faster. The oil level being too low may
burn out the engine.
• Be careful not to let any foreign substance
go into the filler opening when refilling with
the oil.
1. Stop the machine at levelled location.
2. See "OUTRIGGER SETTING" on page 4-36
and rotate the "Outrigger (1)" and "Outrigger
(2)" outrigger rotaries outward.
3. Open the access hatch in the right-hand
machinery cover.
Fig. 5-33
4. Pull the oil level gauge (G) out and wipe the
oil with a disposable cloth.
5. Insert the oil level gauge (G) into the gauge
guide and pull it out.
6. If the oil level is between the "H" mark and "L"
mark on the oil level gauge (G), the oil level is
normal.
Fig. 5-34
7. If the oil level is lower than the "L" mark,
remove the filler cap (F) and refill with the
engine oil from the filler opening.
NOTICE: Refill with the engine oil so that the oil
level will be in the middle of the "H" and "L" marks
on the oil level gauge (G).
8. After refilling with the oil, securely install the
oil level gauge (G) and the filler cap (F).
9. Close the access hatch.
10. See "OUTRIGGER STOWING" on page 4-45
and stow the "Outrigger (1)" and "Outrigger
(2)" outrigger rotaries.
11. See "Operation Engine Hood" and close the
engine hood.
