The transmission oil dipstick is behind the engine access cover on the left side of the machine.
- Open the access door.
- Check the oil level with dipstick (1) when the engine is running at low idle and the oil is at operating temperature.
HOT OIL:
Use the "TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, ENGINE AT LOW IDLE, AND OIL AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE" side of the dipstick (1). Check when the transmission is in NEUTRAL and the engine is running at LOW IDLE. The oil should be at operating temperature. Maintain the oil level between the "OPERATING ZONE" marks. This proceeding is the only accurate way to check the oil level.
COLD OIL:
Check the "ENGINE STOPPED COLD OIL" side of dipstick (1) while the engine is stopped. Maintain the oil between the "OPERATING ZONE" marks. This method should be used as reference only.
- Remove filler cap (2). If necessary, add oil.
- Clean the filler cap and install the filler cap.
Replace the filter elements if the transmission oil filter indicator comes on during operation. See Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Power Train Oil Filters - Replace".
- Close the access door.
