Check fluid level in hydraulic tank and add oil
to raise level to 75mm below the top of the tank.

Note: Dispose of used oil in accordance with
local authority regulations. Only use HVI 68
oil. Use of other oil grades can cause loss of
hydraulic power, or damage to machine.
Check Hydraulic Lines
After every 100 operating hours, check hydraulic
lines and hoses for leaks, loose fittings, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, weather
and chemical deterioration. Replace all mov-
ing hydraulic hoses every 1500 or two years,
whichever comes first. Make necessary repairs
before operating.
WARNING! Hydraulic pressure escaping
under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause injury.
Keep hands and body away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic
fluid. A small leak can be dangerous. To find
hydraulic leaks use cardboard or paper.
