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.
