Transmission oil
The oil level can be read off on the information display unit,
see page 30. If the oil level is incorrect (low or high), an alarm
display is shown, see page 38. If the temperature in the
transmission is high, the control light is on and an alarm
display is shown, see page 38.
Transmission oil, checking level after
topping up or changing
IMPORTANT! Always clean around the dipstick before you
check the oil level. Dirt in the oil damages the transmission.
Remember:
– The transmission may not drive correctly and thus be damaged
if there is too little oil.
– Too much oil makes the oil foam, which causes the
transmission to overheat.
Check the oil when its temperature is approx. 60 °C (140 °F),
suitably at the end of the working shift.
1 Place the machine in service position, see page 89.
2 Start the engine and let it idle.
3 Move the gear selector to neutral.
4 Wait for approx. one minute to allow the oil level to stabilise
before checking.
NOTE! Use a rag which does not give off fluff, for wiping the
dipstick.
5 The oil level should stand 40–70 mm (1.6–2.8 in) above the
minimum mark on the dipstick. The corresponding reading on
the display unit is 40–70%.
6 Top up when necessary, but do not overfill.
The difference on amount of oil between the MIN. and MAX. marks
on the dipstick is approx. 7 litres (1.8 US gal).
