center of the gauge at normal temperature.
Normal temperature
10 ℃ to 30 ℃
(1) Gauge
(2) Hydraulic tank cap (Oil filling
port)
(A) Center of the gauge
Enough oil is present if the oil level lies near the
center of the gauge.
6. If the oil level is too low, fill up with oil through the
oil port before starting the engine.
This step is important for the protection of the
hydraulic system.
6. Lubrication points of the machine
