Check Hydraulic System Oil Level

IMPORTANT: Prevent possible hydraulic pump damage. DO NOT operate engine without oil in the hydraulic reservoir.

1. Park machine on a level surface. Engage park brake.

2. Operate engine at 1/2 speed. Close tongs, if equipped. Slowly lower equipment to ground to get an accurate reading of the oil level.

NOTE: Lowering working equipment with engine off will overfill the reservoir, resulting in an inaccurate oil level reading.

3. Turn key switch to OFF.

4. Oil level must be seen in sight tube (A) located on tank. Use blue scale (B) when machine hydraulic oil is not at operating temperature. Use red scale (C) when machine hydraulic oil is at operating temperature.
