dragon4 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 How do I check the hydraulic oil on my 2001 CH 600 dump truck? There's only a thermometer on the outside of the tank and if you try to look in the filler neck there's a baffle.

0 j_martell Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 ^^ what he said. You should be able to see fluid in the housing of the thermometer with the box down. Both my roll offs have the sight glass with no thermometer...keep it above half when the frames down and the cables all the way out. also, with some lifting/turning/tilting all at once, the strainer should come out. Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....
