Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in
oil level that might indicate the presence of
hydraulic system problems.

1 Be sure the boom is in the stowed position and

the outriggers are raised.

2 Open the cover on the side of the machine

opposite the ground controls.

3 Use the marks on the side of the hydraulic tank

to determine the level of hydraulic oil.

Result: The hydraulic oil level should be

between the 

ADD

 and 

FULL

 marks.

4 Add hydraulic oil if necessary.

MAINTENANCE

Bodily injury hazard. An over-
inflated tire can explode and may
cause death or serious injury.

Collision hazard. An excessively
worn tire can cause poor handling
and continued use could result in
tire failure.

Tip-over hazard. Do not use
temporary flat tire repair products.

Maintaining the tires and wheels in good condition
is essential to safe operation and good
performance. Tire and/or wheel failure could result
in a machine tip-over. Component damage may
also result if problems are not discovered and
repaired in a timely fashion.

1 Check the tire surface and sidewalls for cuts,

cracks, punctures and uneven or excessive
tread wear.

Result: Replace the tire if uneven or excessive

tread wear is found.

Tires and wheels must be
replaced with tires and wheels of
the specifications listed.

2 Check each wheel for damage, bends and

cracks.

Result: Replace the wheel if any damage is

found.

3 Check each tire with an air pressure gauge and

add air as needed.

4 Check the torque of each lug nut.
