Checking the Oil Level
1
Make sure the park brake is engaged and the
transmission set to neutral. Lower the loader arms and
backhoe to the ground, switch OFF the engine and
remove the starter key.
2
Open the bonnet, see Engine Panels, Opening and
Closing the Bonnet.
3
Switch OFF the engine and remove the starter key, fill
the transmission to maximum mark on dipstick/filler A.
Use only the recommended oil.
4
Start and run the engine slowly for a period not
exceeding five minutes. This allows the oil to fill filter,
pump, torque converter, oil cooler and hoses.
5
Switch OFF the engine and remove the starter key, wait
approximately 20 seconds. Check the oil level and if
required, fill to dipstick level.

strainer aperture to flush out any particles which fall off the
strainer during its removal.
! WARNING
Make the machine safe before getting beneath it. Lower
the attachments to the ground; engage the parking
brake; remove the starter key, disconnect the battery.
