SECTION III USE
Checking the transmission oil level
CAUTION: Before connecting implement hoses to the service couplers,
stop the engine and check that the connection fittings are clean. After
having connected the hoses and started the engine, check that the
hydraulic system is functioning correctly.
Then, after having operated the cylinders a few times to equalise the
pressure (moving the control lever to the lowering position, then to the
lifting position and then back to neutral), check the transmission oil level
(circular gauge A) with the cylinders both extended (lifting), and retracted
(lowering). The transmission oil should never be allowed to fall below the
minimum level (with cylinders extended) and should not ever greatly
exceed the maximum level, as the same oil supplies both the external
hydraulic services and the transmission.
NOTE: using the tractor with too little oil in the gearbox can cause serious
damage.
