Recommendations
To ensure optimum life of Series 45 products, perform regular maintenance of the fluid and filter.
Contaminated fluid is the main cause of unit failure. Take care to maintain fluid cleanliness when
servicing.
Check the reservoir daily for proper fluid level, the presence of water, and rancid fluid odor. Water in the
fluid may be noted by a cloudy or milky appearance or free water in the bottom of the reservoir. Rancid
odor indicates the fluid has been exposed to excessive heat. Change the fluid immediately if these
conditions occur. Correct the problem immediately.
Change the fluid and filter per the vehicle / machine manufacturer’s recommendations or at these
intervals:
Change the fluid more frequently if it becomes contaminated with foreign matter (dirt, water, grease,
etc.) or if the fluid is subjected to temperature levels greater that the recommended maximum.
Dispose of used hydraulic fluid properly. Never reuse hydraulic fluid.
Change filters whenever the fluid is changed or when the filter indicator shows that it is necessary to
change the filter. Replace all fluid lost during filter change.
