What happens here
Access the engine compartment to perform several fluid and filter checks. First, visually inspect the washer fluid reservoir to ensure adequate levels. Next, pull the engine oil dipstick to check the oil level; this should be done daily. For newer Volvo excavators, the air filter's restriction is monitored by a computer, eliminating the need for daily manual checks. However, for older machines or those operating in extremely dusty environments (like demolition sites), the air filter should be checked daily. Neglecting the air filter in dusty conditions can rapidly lead to damage of the turbo or even the engine.
Goal: Check essential fluid levels (washer, engine oil) and the air filter condition
