Checking with fluid cold
^
Fluid level must be in area of "MIN." marking (up to 2 mm (0.08 inch) above or below marking)
Checking with fluid at operating temperature
^
Operating temperature: above approximately 50°C (122°F)
^
Fluid level must be between "MIN." and "MAX." markings
Notes:
^
If there is too much fluid in the reservoir, fluid must be extracted.
^
If there is not enough fluid, it is not sufficient to just top off the fluid; the hydraulic system must also be checked for leaks.
^
Do not re-use hydraulic fluid that has been removed.
