Oil at operating temp, all rods retracted then let it sit a few minutes then check is about as close as you'll get
I had accidentally serviced with my bucket curled down those rams full extend) with my lift about 1/4 extended.I think the logic of having all the rams retracted is that the rod side of cylinder takes a bit less fluis to fill... There for more oil in transmission (tank)... its really just transferring a small volume of from tank to rams or from rams back to tank...
And manual for my 1715 is basically "check to see if fluid in sight glass"... Does not mention position of rams...
