4. Engine Compartment
The engine compartment is completely enclosed for
component protection and lockable to discourage
vandalism. For servicing the rear door swings open and
the engine cover hinges up.
To open; raise the door lock handle up over the lock plate;
pull outward releasing the door catch and swing the door
open (Fig. 4.2E). Lower the engine cover before closing
the rear door. Figure 4.2F shows the engine compartment.
4. 3 DAILY SERVICE CHECK
1. Hydraulic Oil Level
Check the oil level with the machine on a level surface
with the lift arms down and the attachment grounded.
Open the rear door and check the oil level sight glass (Fig.
4.3A). If oil is apparent the oil level is satisfactory.
If necessary to add oil, remove the reservoir cap located
at the top of the oil reservoir and add oil until oil appears
in the oil level sight glass.
Use a good quality 10W30 oil which meets the API
classification SH only.
2. Air Cleaner
The loader is equipped with an air cleaner restriction
warning lamp. Should this lamp illuminate, shut off the
engine and determine cause. Possibly a plugged air filter.
Figure 4.3B shows the air cleaner.
Check that all hose clamps are tight and the hose is
undamaged. Check the vacuator valve for damage (Fig
4.3B).
See Section 4.9 for Air Cleaner Maintenance.
