Telehandler Transmission Oil Level Check

In order to prevent premature transmission failures, transmission fluids and levels should be checked daily. Here’s a simple way to check the oil level. Consult the machine’s Operator Manual for specific machine operation hours.

• Apply park brake, shift transmission to "Neutral" and lower forks or attachment to the ground
• Check transmission oil level with engine at idle and oil at normal operating temperature
• Remove the transmission dipstick (1) and check oil level. The oil level should be within the "HOT" zone (2).
• If oil is low, add hydraulic fluid to bring oil up to the "HOT" zone
• Replace transmission dipstick
