To lift level from the bottom red ring to top about 0.5 l of liquid are required. uncover a jellied mouth of the tank and carefully wipe it. Watching indicator indications through an observation port add in the tank necessary amount of hydraulic liquid (its level should rise to the top red ring). Establish into place a cover of a jellied mouth and muffle the engine.
