CAT 420D KFDP21780 check fluid level in hydraulic reservoir sight glass

S/N: KFDP21780 Hydraulic fluid is low. Can somebody copy n paste procedure to set hydraulic oil level correctly.....lift outriggers, etc, to get correct level to "Full" on sight glass? Been leaking, fixed leaks, for customer, topping off the reservoir. I know, I know, too concerned, right? Yes I am and I am okay with that.

    I do the same way with mine or set the back and front bucket on the ground like you're leaving it parked for the night with outriggers up .
