NOTES:
WARNING
Fire Resistant Hydraulic (FRH) fluid
may cause irritation to the eyes

1.
LAUNCHER HYDRAULIC LEVEL AND FILL. Remove cap to check level on dipstick.
Fill as required.
2.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND FILL. Check engine oil levels daily after operating the engine.
The vehicle must be parked on level ground to obtain an accurate oil level reading.
Checking procedure for:
Engine Running, Cold Oil.
1.
When the oil level is checked after the engine has been started, but operated at
700 to 1200 rpm for only 5 to 10 minutes, the oil temperature will be below normal
operating temperature.
2.
Check the oil level (with engine idling at 700 to 750 rpm). If the level is in the
“IDLING RANGE” (between the “ADD” and “HOT FULL” marks), the engine is safe
to operate. If the oil level is below the “ADD” mark, add oil as necessary to bring the
level to the “COLD FULL” mark.
On the backside of dipstick are four hashmarks. The distance between each mark is 2 gallons
(7.6L). When oil level shows low on dipstick, turn to these marks to determine the correct
amount of oil to add. Any added oil will not show on the dipstick until after the engine has been
running for several minutes.
