What happens here
Danny demonstrates checking the internal components and fluid levels. He opens a side access panel to reveal the engine oil and hydraulic tank. He points out a sight glass for checking the hydraulic oil level, emphasizing that hydraulic fluid is separate from engine oil and powers all the cylinders on the machine. He also shows the power disconnect switch for turning the batteries on and off. He briefly mentions that Volvo excavators come standard with rear and side cameras for enhanced safety.
