1.
To check the hydraulic oil level, twist the breather cap on the oil tank counter-clockwise ¼ turn and remove. When
looking inside the filler hole, you should fill the tank so that you can just see oil start to cover the bottom of the internal
strainer. Use 20W-50 engine oil for normal operating temperatures and for colder climates switch to 15W-40. An
excellent choice for colder climates is Mobil 10W-40 Synthetic oil. Over-filling the tank will result in excess oil sloshing
out of the breather during operation.
2.
To change the oil filter it is advisable to clamp the hose from the tank prior to loosening the filter in order to prevent
excessive spilling of hydraulic oil.
3.
Remove filter by un-screwing counter-clockwise from filter base.
4.
When replacing filter (Billy goat P/N 362396), it is recommended to spread a thin coat of oil on the rubber gasket of
the filter prior to re-installing.
5.
After the rubber gasket seats, turn an additional 2/3 turn.
