Refill Fluids and Verify Levels
At 14:25 in
What if FARMING Goes Wrong!
What happens here
The presenter refills the engine with Chevron Delo 400 XSP SAE 5W-40 diesel engine oil, carefully pouring in 3.9 quarts as specified by the service chart, using a funnel. He then checks the hydraulic fluid level using the sight glass (a clear rubber hose) located on the side of the hydraulic reservoir. Finding it slightly low, he tops it off with Ventrac 5W-30 hydraulic oil. He mentions that if the hydraulic reservoir is overfilled, excess fluid will escape through a blow-off tube. He then checks the engine oil level with the dipstick, ensuring it's "right on the money". Finally, he starts the engine to circulate fluids and ensures no leaks, confirming the successful completion of the service.
Goal: Ensure all fluid levels are correct after filter changes and test the system.
