Hydraulic Oil Level
Look
for
the
hydraulic tank on the
left side of the machine
behind the cab. Before
checking
the
tank’s
oil level gage, make
sure the loader’s lift
arms are lowered and
the bucket is Fat on
the ground. That way
you’ll get an accurate
reading.
Check the oil level
before operation with
the
engine
shut
off.
Make
sure
the
level
is
above
the
ADD
mark on the sight. If
necessary, remove the
±ller cap and slowly
add oil.
Engine Oil Level
Check the oil level before operation while the engine is shut off. Open the service
door on the right side of the vehicle and remove the dipstick. Wipe it off, slide it back
in place, and then remove it once more to get a clean reading.
The
oil
level
should
be between the ADD and
²ULLmark on the dipstick.
It can take as much as a
gallon to reach the ²ULL
mark from the lowest point
on the crosshatched area of
the dipstick.
Transmission Oil Level
The
transmission
oil
level
sight gage is on the front of the
transfer case on the left side of
the
vehicle.
The
red
indicator
should
be
within
the
WARM
IDLE range when the oil is warm
and the machine is running at low
idle. The red indicator should be
within the COLD START range
when the oil is cold and the engine
is not running. If necessary, open
the ±ll cap and add oil through the
±ller tube.
Coolant Level
Open the access door on the
left-rear side of the vehicle to
access the coolant level sight
gage. You’ll ±nd the gage on
top of the radiator. With the
engine off, check the level in
the sight gage. It should be at
least half full.
Hood Tilt Switch
Just below the battery disconnect switch is the toggle switch for the vehicle’s hood
tilt. Pay close attention to the CAUTION on WP 0004 00-26 of the -10 TM. Use the
switch to open or close the hood only until the hood stops moving. When the hood
stops, you’ll hear a clicking noise. That’s your signal to release the switch. If you
don’t, you’ll burn out the hood’s actuator motor! The toggle switch automatically
returns to the middle position when you release it.
Use hood tilt switch until
hood stops moving…
…and you hear
clicking noise
Engine oil level should be between ADD and FILL
Transmission oil level can
be checked warm or cold
Cold

glass
if the level’s low,
remove the radiator
cap and add coolant
until it reaches an inch
below the radiator’s
filler neck.
