HYDRAULIC OIL & FILTER
•
Check hydraulic oil level daily , with
engine off and cool, and replenish as
necessary. A site glass is provided for
easy viewing. If oil can be seen in glass,
there is enough oil in the tank. Do not
fill the tank more than 7/8 full; operating
at high temperature will cause oil to
expand and spill over if tank is full.
Tank capacity is 9 gallons. Remember
to replace and tighten the cap.
•
The machine is equipped with Citgo
AW32 hydraulic oil at time of
manufacture; use the same or equivalent.
•
Drain and replace hydraulic oil at least
once a year, more often if oil is very
dark or smells burnt. Discard used oil
properly.
