Fluid in Cold Condition

- Remove the cap.

- Wipe dipstick off with a clean cloth.

- Screw cap on hand-tight and unscrew again.

• The cap must be fully screwed in order to obtain an accurate fluid level reading.

- Check fluid level: Level must be around "MIN" mark (up to 2 mm above or below mark).






Fluid at Operating Temperature (from approximately 50 °C (122 °F)):






- Check fluid level: Level must be between "MIN" and "MAX" mark.

• Fluid must be drawn off if the level is above the specified range.

• If oil level is below the aforementioned area, then the hydraulic system must be checked for leaks. It is not enough to just add fluid.

• Do not use drained hydraulic oil.
