2. Place a drain pan under the drain plug that will hold at least 20 gallons (75.7 L)
3. Reinstall the drain plug.
4. Fill the hydraulic tank with approximately 18 gallons of 10W40 oil. It is very important to use high quality oil
with few impurities.

Clean Hydraulic Filters
The Hydraulic Swing Hoist oil return filter element should be replaced after 100 hours of operation. There is also a
steel suction strainer that should be blown out with compressed air, or washed with light oil every 100 hours of
operation.
Check Hydraulic Lines
Check the hydraulic lines after every 100 hours of operation. Inspect for wear, cracks, loose connections, leaks, etc. If
hydraulic component requires service, remove all loads, stop the engine, and move all hydraulic controls in both
directions to release any hydraulic pressure before any disassembly. Repair hoses as needed. Hydraulic hoses should
be replaced as wear dictates.
WARNING: HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE SKIN AND CAUSE SEVERE BURNS THAT
CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS ENJURY.
ALWAYS keep body and hands away from the pin holes or nozzles which eject hydraulic fluid under pressure. ALWAYS
use paper or cardboard and not hands to search for leaks.
KNOW that all hydraulic fluid connections and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition BEFORE applying
pressure to the system.
Foreign fluid injected into skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
