MAINTENANCE
SERVICE PROCEDURE
CHECK OIL LEVEL IN HYDRAULIC TANK, ADD OIL
WARNING
The parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped, and may cause burns. Wait for the
temperature to go down before starting the work.
When removing the oil filler cap, turn it slowly to release the internal pressure, then remove it.
NOTICE
If oil has been added to above the window in the gauge, stop the engine, wait for the hydraulic oil to cool, then drain the excess
oil from the drain plug. If the oil level is too high, it will damage the hydraulic circuit and cause the oil to spurt out.
1. Set the machine in position as follows to check the oil level.
Return the leaning of the front tires to the upright position and face the wheels straight to the front.
Set the front frame and rear frame facing straight (articulated angle = 0 deg.). Install the articulate lock pin.
Return the blade sideshift to the center of the machine, set the blade at right angles to the chassis and lower
it lightly to the ground.
To drain the oil from the accumulator on machines equipped with a blade accumulator, turn the blade
accumulator switch ON and raise the blade to the maximum height. After doing this, turn the accumulator
switch OFF and lower the blade to the ground.
2.
Start the engine and run at low idle.
3. Check with sight gauge (G). The oil should be up to the window
of gauge (G).
4. If the oil level is below the window of sight gauge (G), remove
bolts (1) (6 pieces) and take cover (2) off. Then, add the oil
through oil filler (F).
5.
If the oil is above the window of the gauge, drain the excess oil
from drain plug (P), then check the oil level again.
REMARK
Use the supplied hose to prevent oil from spraying out into the
surrounding area.
6.
If the oil level is appropriate, tighten the cap of oil filler (F)
securely and remove the hose.
