
Check hydraulic oil level daily. This
Carlton stump grinder is equipped with a
gauge that shows the level of oil and the
temperature of the oil. When filling the tank
2/3 with oil, the window of the gauge will
also fill with oil, as the level gets higher in
the tank. Never fill the oil tank above the
BLACK line at the top of the gauge. Do not
run the machine with the oil level below the
RED line at the bottom of the gauge.

The machine is equipped with Citgo AW46
hydraulic oil at the time of manufacture.
Use the same or equivalent.

For a new machine, change the hydraulic oil
filter when the stump grinder has been
operating for 10 hours. Replace with the
same type of in-tank filter element supplied
originally, available through Carlton or
Carlton dealers. From this point on, change
the filter every 200 hours of operation.

Change hydraulic oil every 500 hours of
operation or at least once a year depending
on use. Flush the hydraulic tank when
changing the hydraulic oil. Replace oil if it
has a burnt odor or if it is contaminated.
Replace oil if the stump grinder has been
stored for a long period of time (all winter).

Drain the hydraulic tank using the drain plug
located on the bottom of the tank. Dispose
of used oil according to state regulations.

Check setscrews in Jackshaft Bearings and
