What happens if the hydraulic fluid reaches a low level?

When the hydraulic fluid reaches a low level, it triggers a safety mechanism within the system designed to alert the operator of the issue. The HYD LEVEL LO warning light illuminates to indicate that there is insufficient hydraulic fluid. This warning serves as an essential indicator to take corrective action, such as checking the fluid level and replenishing it if necessary.

While it is important to understand that low hydraulic fluid levels can lead to further complications, such as diminished system performance or potential failure of components, the immediate and correct response to a low fluid condition is the activation of the warning light. Recognizing this warning allows operators to address the issue before it escalates into more serious problems like system shutdown or component failure.
