hitachi ex60 swing planetaries gear oil selection and fill level?

for once, the title about says it all. just replaced short seal and bearings at the bottom of the planetary housing and i'm putting back together. the orginal dip stick for the gear oil broke off long ago. i used to think i knew about how far below the original dipstick mount i was trying to get a fill level but that is lost along with many other things in my memory.



the fluids chart is, of course, in japanese so i am guessing from a very rough location chart that it might be calling fro 2.5 liters of gear oil. but that is a complete guess. i'm going to look through various documentation that i've been lucky to receive over time here, but i'm wondering if anyone has any rough experience, i.e. fill the lower bearings and halfway up the plantetaries or . . .



and how heavy can i get away with to avoid leaking in the future for minor seal roughing kind of stuff.



thanks,



brian
