TILTING OPERATORS COMPARTMENT INTO OPERATING POSITION
Oil Level
Park the machine on a level surface and put the bucket on the ground when you check the oil level or drain the reservoir. IMPORTANT: When you add oil to the hydraulic reservoir, you must use a mixture of Case HTO additive and Case No. 1 engine oil (SAE 10W-30). Completely mix 1.06 U.S. quarts (1.75 U.K. pints,1 litre) of Case HTO additive to 5 U.S. gallons (4.2 U.K. gallons, 19 litres) of SAE 10W-30 oil (20 to 1 ratio).

WARNING: Fire Hazard: Do not smoke while filling the hydraulic reservoir. Do not fill near open flames. M476
BP96C035 Turn the dipstick counterclockwise and remove. If the fluid level is below the ADD mark on the dipstick, add fluid to raise the fluid level to the FULL mark. See page 88, Fluids and Lubricants for capacity. Do the following if you need to add oil to the reservoir. 1.Clean the filler cap (1) and the area around the filler cap with cleaning solvent. 2.Turn the filler cap 1/2 turn to relieve air pressure from the reservoir. Do not remove the filler cap until pressure is relieved. 3.Remove the filler cap. 4.Add oil to the reservoir until the oil level is at the FULL mark on the dipstick. 5.Apply clean oil to the filler cap seal and install the filler cap.
Checking the Hydraulic Filter Condition
1.Start the engine and raise the temperature of the hydraulic oil to operating temperature (the side of the hydraulic oil reservoir will feel very warm). To increase the temperature of the oil do the following: a.Increase the engine speed to full throttle, roll back the loader bucket, and hold the control lever in this position for 5 seconds. b.After 5 seconds, move the control lever to the NEUTRAL position for 10 seconds. c.Repeat this procedure until the side of the hydraulic reservoir feels very warm.
