Checking the hydraulic oil level
Do not add oil if the oil level is above the FULL mark, otherwise the hydraulic
system can be damaged and oil can escape.
☞Check the hydraulic oil level each time the machine is put into operation or
once a day.
☞Proceed as follows:
• Park the machine on level ground
• Retract all hydraulic cylinders
☞Fully tilt in the skip
• Stop the engine
• Sight glass A is under the engine cover behind the hydraulic oil reservoir
• Check the oil level on sight glass A
• The oil level must be at the FULL level
• A gage element in sight glass A indicates the oil level
If the oil level is lower
• Add hydraulic oil
The oil level varies according to the machine’s operating temperature:
Measure the oil level of the hydraulic system only after the machine reaches its
operating temperature.
