SP5014TRX SERVICING HYDRAULICS


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.
HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER
(only on remote control machines)

There is a hydraulic oil cooler on all remote
control machines to keep the hydraulic oil
from over heating. There is a temp sensor in
the bottom of the oil cooler and if the oil
temperature rises to 140° or higher the fan
comes on to cool the oil. The fan may go on
and off as the temperature of the oil changes
depending on the environment and the
operation of the grinder.

Keep the fins clean. Use a garden hose and
a mild detergent. Do not use a power
washer as it may cause the fins to bend. Do
not use an industrial strength detergent that
may cause the metal to deteriorate.

Inspect all connections and hoses for leaks
and wear. Replace if necessary. Use extra
care when inspecting hoses with fluid under
pressure. DO NOT use your finger or hand
to inspect for leaks, use a board or
cardboard. Follow all safety procedures at
the beginning of the Servicing Hydraulics
section.
