Checking Transmission/Hydraulic Oil Level

RXA0098554-UN-16JUN08

A - Sight Glass

B - Filler Cap

Park tractor on level ground.

Operate engine at approximately 1000 rpm for at least one minute. Before checking oil level, stop engine and wait an additional three minutes for oil to settle back into differential case.

IMPORTANT: Change oil in clean oil reservoir immediately if oil is contaminated with water.

NOTE: Oil temperature should be approximately 45° C. See Changing Display Functions in the CommandCenter section to determine oil temperature.

Tractor should be on level ground with hitch in the lowered position and engine stopped when checking oil level.

Sight glass observations will be significantly higher with hotter oil temperatures and lower with colder oil or if engine has not run long enough.

Observe oil level in sight glass (A). Oil level should be between the marks on the glass. Optimum level is at the top mark.

IMPORTANT: Oil level above the top mark on sight glass can result in power loss and heat generation during transport.

If oil level is below the lower mark, remove filler cap (B) and add hydraulic oil.
