Engine Oil
The engine oil level is measured with a dipstick. The dip-
stick is the only way to accurately determine the engine
oil level. The engine oil level should always be between
the add and full marks on the dipstick.
Hydraulic Fluid Filter Gauge
The fluid filter gauge (refer to Figure 5.3) is located on
the control valve behind the door on the right side of the
turntable.
Figure 5.3 – Hydraulic Fluid Filter Gauge
• During high pump flow situations, the gauge indicates
the condition of the filter.
• When the needle on the gauge is in the red zone, its
time to change the filter.
Hydraulic Fluid Level Sight Gauge
A sight gauge on the end of the reservoir displays the
level of the hydraulic fluid (refer to Figure 5.4).
Figure 5.4 – Hydraulic Fluid Gauge
Remove the engine cover and check the fluid level with
the aerial platform in the stowed position, booms com-
pletely down and retracted. Otherwise, the cylinders act
as large reservoirs for hydraulic fluid making the level
appear too low. The fluid should be visible in the sight
gauge.
Chapter 5 – Gauges and Displays
The aerial platform is equipped with several gauges to
monitor the condition of the machine before and during
operation.
Hour Meter
The hour meter is located on the lower control panel
(refer to Figure 5.1). It measures the accumulated engine
operating time.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is located on top of the fuel tank. Access
the gauge by opening the door on the top, left rear of the
chassis (refer to Figure 5.2). Read the fuel level at the
line in the clear plastic window. The gauge indicates the
fuel tank level in fractions of a full tank.

Note
Do not run a diesel fuel tank empty. Air in the fuel line
makes the engine hard to start.
