Turn off the machine: Ensure the machine is powered off and fully de-energized before beginning the check for safety purposes.
Locate the hydraulic oil tank: The tank is usually located near the hydraulic pump or on the side of the machine.
Check the oil level:
- Visual Inspection: Many machines have a sight glass on the side of the oil tank, allowing you to easily see the oil level. The oil should be within the recommended range, typically marked on the sight glass.
- Dipstick: If your machine doesn’t have a sight glass, there may be a dipstick attached to the oil fill cap. Remove the cap and check the dipstick to ensure the oil level is within the recommended range.
Top off if necessary: If the oil level is low, top it off with the appropriate hydraulic oil as recommended by the machine’s manufacturer. Avoid overfilling.
Check for leaks or contamination: Look around the tank and machine for any signs of oil leakage or contamination, which could indicate other issues.
Replace the cap and restart: Once the oil level is correct, securely replace the cap and start the machine to ensure everything is working properly.
