Hydraulic Fluid Filter Gauge
The fluid filter gauge (refer to Figure 5.6) is located on the
return line filter on the left side of the reservoir. The reser-
voir is behind the door on the left side of the turntable.
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.

Fluid Level and Temperature Gauge
A gauge on the right end of the reservoir displays the level
and temperature of the hydraulic fluid (refer to Figure 5.7).
Figure 5.7 – Hydraulic Fluid Gauge
If the temperature rises above 200°F (93°C) stop machine
operation and let the fluid cool before resuming opera-
tion.
Figure 5.4 – Gasoline or Diesel Fuel Tank
Note
Do not run a diesel fuel tank empty. Air in the fuel line
makes the engine hard to start.
LPG tanks have a fuel gauge that has two scales. One
scale measures the fuel level when the tank is mounted
vertical and the other is used when the tank is mounted
horizontal (refer to Figure 5.5).
Figure 5.5 – LPG Fuel Tank
The LPG tank is mounted horizontally behind the rear
cowling door on the right side of the machine. Read the
horizontal scale to determine the fuel level.
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.
