Servicing Intervals G Every 10 operating hours Check oil level in both engine oil pans with Excavator standing on level ground, using oil level gauge (1).

Check also oil level in both reserve tanks, see illust. Z 22452A. REMARK The oil level in the engine oil pan can vary between the MIN and MAX marking on gauge (1) depending on the operating con- dition of the reserve system when the engine was stopped. With sufficient oil in the reserve tank and with the reserve system in proper working order, there is no need to fill the engine oil pan even with the oil level at the MIN mark on gauge (1). If the oil level is below the MIN marking on the gauge, corrective action must be taken. Fill the reserve tank and check the reserve system.

The function of pumping unit (12) is monitored by an indicator light located on the "X2" switch board in the cab base. See section "SWITCH BOARD (X2) IN CAB BASE" for more information. Be sure to fill the corresponding reserve tank of rear engine -1- or the reserve tank of front engine -2- when the information message "Engine oil reserve tank 1 (or 2) empty" is being dis- played on the ECS screen in the operator’s cab. 297
