DESCRIPTION:

Introduction:

With some of the PClOO-6 through PC1 100-6 hydraulic excavators now is use, oil
leakage trouble is sometimes caused by thinner on the surface of the oil level gauge of
the fuel tank which results in cracking of the oil level gauge. This PARTS & SERVICE
NEWS will introduce precautions to prevent this type of oil leakage.
