Checking/adding brake fluid
The brake-fluid reservoir is located inside the cabin to the left of the
operator seat.
The check marks “MAX” and “MIN” are located on the side of the
reservoir.
An incorrect brake fluid grade or an insufficient brake fluid level can
impair the safety of the braking system.
Failure to observe this can cause serious injury or death.
► Check the brake fluid in the reservoir at regular intervals.
► Do not operate the machine any more if the brake fluid has dropped
below the mark “MIN”.
► Only add brake fluid up to the “MAX” mark of the sight glass.
► If the braking system loses too much brake fluid, have the braking
system checked by an authorized service center.
► The brake fluid must comply with the specification (ATF).
► The brake fluid must be replaced every 2 years by an authorized
service center.
Check
1. The brake fluid level must be between the check marks MIN and MAX.
➥ If the brake fluid level falls below the "MIN" check mark,
