Checking the Leak Detector
The leak detector system is designed to assist in early
detection of hydraulic-fluid-system leaks. If the fluid
level in the main hydraulic reservoir is lowered by
118 to 177 ml (4 to 6 oz), the float switch in the tank
will close. After a 1 second delay, the alarm sounds,
alerting the operator
(Figure
due to normal heating during machine operation,
causes the fluid to transfer into the auxiliary fluid
reservoir. The fluid returns to the main tank when you
turn off the ignition switch.
