HYDRAULIC FLUID REQUIREMENTS
The above chart is a suggested guide for
viscosity of hydraulic fl uids at start up ambient
temperature. The load, demand, and cleanliness
of the equipment will aff ect actual oil temperatures
which can increase dramatically above ambient
air temperatures during operation. The actual
viscosity needed is based on oil temperature during
operation and not air temperature. Compare your
fl uid specifi cations with the specifi cations below
to verify compliance.

Based on the varying temperatures of the area
where Bandit equipment is used, and the high
demand and loads placed on this equipment,
Bandit has filled each hydraulic system with
Petro-Canada’s Hydrex XV All Season Hydraulic
Fluid for maximum protection and performance.
Hydraulic fluids vary in their resistance to
oxidation at elevated temperatures, their ability
to protect against metal-to-metal contact under
increasing temperature, and their ability to separate
water from the fl uid. Viscosity is temperature
dependent. Fluids with high viscosity-index (VI)
will thin out slower at higher temperature and
thicken slower at colder temperatures allowing
a wider operating range. Choose a fl uid that has
test results in these areas for best results.
Minimum Viscosity during operation = 12 cSt
Maximum No-Load Viscosity at start-up = 2000 cSt
NOTICE
When choosing a hydraulic fl uid ‑ these maximum
and minimum specifi cations must be met

This machine is equipped with “Petro-Canada
Hydrex XV” hydraulic fl uid and it is recommended to
be replaced with the same. “Petro-Canada Hydrex
XV” is an all season hydraulic fl uid. This is a premium
performance, long life anti‑wear, hydraulic fl uid,
designed for all season use in heavy duty hydraulic
systems. “Petro-Canada Hydrex XV” allows year
round use under wide extremes of temperature. It
allows the hydraulic system to start at temperatures
as low as -34°C/-29°F, under no load conditions
and it improves lubrication of hydraulic components
at high operating temperatures. It will also help
protect against hydraulic failures during the wide
temperature swings of spring and fall.
Multi Viscosity motor oils are not recommended
to mix with “Petro-Canada Hydrex XV” hydraulic
oil. AW oils may mix with “Petro-Canada Hydrex
XV” hydraulic oil. The following are specifi cations
and authorizations of compatible oils. Only a high
quality anti-wear (AW) hydraulic oil containing
foam, corrosion, rust and oxidation inhibitors should
be used. This viscosity grade depends on the oil
temperature in service, based on the climate and
operating conditions.
Alternative hydraulic oils are available, but they do
not equal the performance or longevity of the “Hydrex
XV” oil. Consult the following information supplied
by the oil distributor.
