CAUTION: Oil must be added to the hydraulic reservoir and the engine before
starting or operation.
Step 1
Please add approximately 15/20 litres of hydraulic fluid. The remaining hydraulic fluid will be added
after the cylinder is cycled� AW46 hydraulic oil is recommended� Use only clean oil and take care to
prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir�
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use 4 stroke automotive detergent oil� SAE 10W30 is recommended for general use� Refer to the
SAE Viscosity Grades chart in your engine owner’s manual for average temperature ranges. The
engine oil capacity is 600ml for the Honda GX200 (30 ton), 1.1lts for the Honda GX270 (35 ton) and
1.1lts for the Honda GX390 (40 ton). Always check oil level before starting the engine and keep level
full�
Step 2
After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled with oil, start the engine. The
hydraulic pump is self-priming� With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward
the foot plate� This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air� When the cylinder is fully extended,
retract it� Repeat this procedure several times� An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that
there is still air in the system. Add about 3 to 6 litres of hydraulic fluid. Approximately 19 litres will
register just above the top fill line on the dip stick. The total capacity of the entire hydraulic system is
30 litres, with 19 litres of hydraulic fluid minimum to operate.
NOTE: If the tank is overfilled it will expel oil from the breather cap when the cylinder is
retracted. Cycle the cylinder again until it has a constant speed which indicates that all air has
been expelled.
