1. Remove the cap from the fuel tank (Fig. 4) and fill the
10 gallon tank to about 1 inch (25 mm) from the top of
tank (the bottom of the filler neck) with unleaded
gasoline. Install the fuel tank cap tightly.
2. Wipe up gasoline that may have spilled to prevent a fire
hazard.

Checking the Gear Case Fluid
Level
The gear case, which acts as the reservoir for the hydraulic
system, is filled at the factory with approximately 4–5
quarts of Mobil DTE 26 hydraulic oil. Check the level of
hydraulic oil on the sight gauge before the engine is first
started and daily thereafter. Change the filter after the first
25 hours of operation; thereafter change the oil and filter
every 250 hours of operation.
Important The oil and filter must be changed
immediately when any contamination, sludge, water or
condensation appears in oil or on sight gauge. Determine
and correct oil contamination problem before restarting
engine and operating machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Release the hood latches and raise the hood.
3. Check the level of hydraulic oil on the sight gauge
(Fig. 5). The fluid level should be up to the middle of
the gauge window.

4. If the fluid level is low, remove the filler cap and add
enough Mobil DTE 26 hydraulic oil or equivalent oil
(refer to Fluid Recommendations, page 10) to bring the
oil up to the proper level.
5. Lower the hood and secure the latches.
Checking the Pump Case Fluid
Level
The pump crank case is filled at the factory with
approximately 40 ounces of Mobil DTE Extra Heavy oil.
Check the oil level on the dipstick before the engine is first
started and daily thereafter. Change the oil initially after
25 hours of operation, thereafter change every 200 hours
of operation.
Important The oil must be changed immediately when
any contamination, sludge, water, or condensation appears
in the oil. Determine and correct any oil contamination
problem before restarting the engine and operating the
machine.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Release the hood latches and raise the hood.
3. Remove the dipstick/filler cap and check the oil level on
the dipstick. The fluid level should be up to the FULL
mark (Fig. 6).
4. If the fluid level is low, add enough Mobil DTE Extra
Heavy oil or equivalent oil (refer to Fluid
Recommendations, page 10) to bring the oil up to the
proper level. Do not overfill.
