Note: The cap is tethered to the fuel tank.4. Add unleaded fuel to the fuel tank, until the level is justbelow the bottom of the filler neck.Important: This space in the tank allows fuel toexpand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.5. Install the fuel tank cap securely, turning it until it clicks.6. Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.Checking the Engine-Oil LevelService Interval: Before each use or daily1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower theloader arms, and shut off the engine.2. Remove the key and allow the engine to cool.3. Open the hood.4. Clean around the oil dipstick (Figure 15).Figure 151. Oil dipstick 2. Metal end5. Pull out the dipstick and wipe the metal end clean(Figure 15).6. Slide the dipstick fully into the dipstick tube (Figure 15).7. Pull the dipstick out and look at the metal end.8. If the oil level is low, clean around the oil-filler cap andremove the cap (Figure 16).Figure 161. Filler cap 2. Valve cover9. Slowly pour only enough oil into the valve cover toraise the level to the F (Full) mark.Important: Do not overfill the crankcase with oilto prevent damaging the engine.10. Replace the filler cap and dipstick.11. Close the hood.Checking the Hydraulic-FluidLevelService Interval: Every 25 hoursHydraulic Tank Capacity: 45.4 L (12 US gallons)Refer to Changing the Hydraulic Fluid (page 41) forhydraulic-fluid specifications.Important: Always use the correct hydraulic fluid.Unspecified fluids will damage the hydraulic system.1. Remove the attachment, if one is installed; refer toRemoving an Attachment (page 22).2. Park the traction unit on a level surface, lower theloader arms, and fully retract the tilt cylinder.3. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow theengine to cool.4. Open the hood and remove the left side screen.5. Clean the area around the filler neck of the hydraulictank (Figure 17).6. Remove the cap from the filler neck and check the fluidlevel on the dipstick (Figure 17).The fluid level should be between the marks on thedipstick.Figure 171. Filler-neck cap 2. Dipstick7. If the level is low, add enough fluid to raise it to theproper level.8. Install the cap on the filler neck.9. Replace the left side screen and close the hood.18
