Hydraulic Oil
The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the
running parts of the pump.
The hydraulic reservoir was filled to approximately 80% of capacity before leaving Baileigh
Industrial. After installation of the machine and before machine startup, bring the oil level up
to 90% of capacity.
A shortage of hydraulic oil can cause hydraulic system breakdown and damage to
major mechanical parts due to over heating
.

Use hydraulic oil Shell Tellus #68 brand or an equivalent with similar specifications.

Keep hydraulic reservoir filled to 90% of capacity.

DO NOT rely totally on the oil gauge as they can sometimes indicate an incorrect level
reading. Do a visual inspection with the oil fill cap removed as well.

A shortage of hydraulic oil will cause hydraulic system breakdown to major
mechanical components due to overheating.

Change the hydraullic oil every 6 months along with the oil filter.
Oil Change and Disposal
Change the oil in the hydraulic tank after the first 6 months, and every 12 months after that.
Clean the filter basket located under the fill cap before refilling the tank.
Capacity of the oil tank is approx. 35 gallons.(132.5 liters) max. Required oil capacity is 31.5
gallons (119.25 liters).
Used oil products must be disposed of in a proper manner following your local regulations.
Air bleed for hydraulic hold down cylinders. If hold down cylinders
don’t all function the same, there might be air in the line. (consult
