WARNING
A1 - ENGINE OIL LEVEL
To avoid the risk of spraying and scalding, wait until the engine has cooled down before removing the cooling system filler plug. If the coolant is very hot, add only hot coolant 176°F (80°C). In an emergency, you can use water as a coolant, and then change the coolant as soon as possible (see chapter: 6 - MAINTENANCE: F1 - COOLANT).
CHECK Park the telescopic handler on level ground with the engine stopped, and let the oil drain into the oil pan. -
Open the engine cover.
-
Remove the dipstick (1) (fig. A1).
-
Wipe the dipstick and check for the correct level at the upper mark.
