2.10.2 Hydraulic Reservoir
With the oil cold and the forklift on a level surface
and all hydraulic cylinders retracted, check the
sight gauge plug. If oil is visible in the sight gauge
plug, the level is satisfactory. If oil level is not
visible in the sight gauge, the level is unsatisfac-
tory and hydraulic oil must be added.
2.10.3 Engine Oil
Oil level should be between the full and add mark
on the dipstick.
2.10.4 Cooling System
Check level of coolant in overflow bottle. When
coolant is hot, bottle should be 3/4 full to full.
When coolant is cool, bottle should be 1/4 to 1/2
full. Add coolant as required through the overflow
bottle (50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and water).
2.10.5 Splines
Transmission input shaft splines must be coated
with a molybdenum disulfide or Molykote com-
pound.
2.10.6 Drop Box
Remove level plug in drop box and check level of
oil. Add Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (THF) as required
through the level plug hole with a squeeze bottle.
Bring the oil level up even with the level plug hole
and install the level plug.
