MAINTENANCE 24.2.2 CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL, ADD OIL WARNING When checking the oil level, apply the parking brake and lock the front and rear frames with the safety bar and pin. The oil is at a high temperature after the machine has been operated. Always wait for the temperature to go down before performing this procedure. Perform this procedure, if any oil is on the transmission case, or if there is oil mixed with the cooling water. 1. Start the engine and run it for at least 5 minutes. 2. Open the cap of the oil filler port (1), remove the dipstick (2), and wipe the oil off with a cloth. 3. Insert the dipstick (2) fully into the oil filler pipe, then remove it. 4.
The oil level should be between H and L on the dipstick If the oil level is below the L mark, then add oil through the oil filler. For details of the oil to use, see 20 FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE on page 3-9. 5. If the oil is above the H mark, drain the excessive oil by removing the drain plug (3). Check the oil level again. 6. If the oil level is correct, insert the dipstick back into the filler and tighten the cap. WA450-3MC 3-29
