3.37 CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL

Hydraulic fluid is toxic and can

therefore have a damaging effect on

your health.

Hence avoid any direct or indirect

physical contact.

As hydraulic fluid is also a corrosive

fluid, it may damage the paintwork of

the vehicle.

Avoid any contact between

hydraulic fluid and paintwork.

Always use new and clean hydraulic

fluid which has been kept in a sealed

container and meets the

specifications.

Hydraulic fluid which has absorbed

water (from the ambient air) may

have an adverse effect on the

operation of the clutch system.

Avoid any contact with mineral oil.

Even one drop of mineral oil in the

system will damage the seals.

1.

Check that the fluid level is between the (A)

and (B) marks when the cab is in the driving

position.

2.

Mark (C) applies to fully tilted cabs.

3.

Hand tighten the reservoir sealing cap.

Note:

There is an air bleed vent in the cap that may

be closed if the cap is tightened with too

great a force.

If the air bleed vent is closed off, residual

pressure will build up in the system.
