CAUTION
Never add kerosene or other "thinners" to hydraulic oil. These fluids have low
aniline points and consequently will cause rapid deterioration of certain packings
and seals in the hydraulic system.
CAUTION
Serious damage to the pumps will result if they are run with the shutoff valve
closed or with insufficient oil level in the reservoir.
Observe the operation of the machine. If the oil is too cold, the machine will be sluggish
and should be warmed up further before sustained work is attempted. If the oil is too hot,
internal leakage will increase, pump efficiency will go down, and moving parts will not be
properly lubricated. If operating temperature is excessive, rapid deterioration of the oil
will result and moving parts and seals will wear more quickly. The cause of the excess
heat should be determined and corrected. Oil temperature should never exceed 200

F
(93°C).
