service facility as soon as possible.
Checking and adding engine cooling fan hydraulic fluid
Check the engine cooling fan hydraulic fluid. Refer to the scheduled
maintenance guide for the service interval schedules. If adding fluid is
necessary, use only MERCON
ATF.
Check the fluid level when it is at
ambient temperature (-7° to 25° C
[20° to 80° F]):
1. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir. It should be between the
MIN and MAX lines. Do not add
fluid if the level is in this range.
2. If the fluid is low, add fluid in
small amounts, continuously
checking the level until it reaches
the range between the MIN and
MAX lines. Be sure to put the cap
back on the reservoir.
