Turn the cap slowly to release the internal pressure before removing the cap.
If the oil level is above the H mark, turn the engine off and wait for the hydraulic oil to cool. Drain the excess oil. 1. Lower the bucket horizontally to the ground and turn the engine off. Wait 5 minutes, then check sight gauge (G). The oil level should be between the H and L marks. NOTE: Do not add oil, if the oil is above the H line. This will damage the hydraulic equipment and cause oil to spurt out. 2. If the oil level is below the L mark, open the inspection cover above the step and add oil through the oil filler port (F). For specification of the oil to use, see 20 FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE on page 3-9. WA450-3MC 3-38
