5. When the oil level is too low, always perform the leak checks described later in this
chapter.

more than 1/4" per hour, then the system must be inspected for external (hoses,
couplings) and internal (valves) leakage. Defective parts must be replaced.
9. General inspection for damage. If cracks have appeared in structural components,
then the parts in question must be replaced. Immediately repair or replace all parts
which could cause hazardous situations.
