Hydraulic Fluid
The DT100 uses
mineral ISO46 HLP hydraulic oil
in the hydraulic circuit. Although the machine is supplied fully
filled and ready for use the level should be checked before first use and as part of the daily checks routine. The oil
level is checked by using the dipstick on the oil filler cap, shown below (cover removed for clarity).
