Personal injury or death can occur if personnel are trapped between the wheel and the frame.The steering system is hydraulically controlled and wheels can crush personnel during movement.Use caution when working between the wheels and the frame. If the wheels must be turned, ensure that all personnel are clear of the machine before any movement.

The sampling valve (1) for the steering oil is located on the base for the oil filter. The oil filter is on the front, left corner of the frame. The oil filter is in front of the front left wheelNote: The sample should be taken when the engine is at low idle and the machine is not being steered. The sample will fill slowly. Allow the sample to fill in a normal manner.
Remove the filter elements. Check for particles that were removed from the oil by the filter elements. A magnet will separate ferrous particles from nonferrous particles (piston rings, O-rings, or seals).
