Inaccurate fluid amounts in the manual?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   Serviced the hydraulics in the 8070 this weekend - drained and changed RH & LH filters.  The manual says to put 16 gallons in, run for 5 minutes and check the level at the sight glasses.  Another section of the manual says the total capacity when draining all three plugs is 16.7 gallons.  I did the 16 gallons, run and check and saw no fluid.  Added three more quarts, which would be a bit more than the total capacity listed.  I added three more quarts, one at a time, waiting 5-10 minutes between each one.  Still nothing on the sight glass.  It's been just over two years since I serviced it and don't remember this being an issue, but it could have.
