Hydraulic Maintenance
Entanglement and Crushing Hazard:
Use extreme caution in the hitch area when the PTO is
operating. Maintenance should only be conducted with the
electrical harness is disconnected from the tractor battery. If
necessary to briefly run the PTO Pump during maintenance,
check essential personnel for long hair, scarfs, cords, frays,
loose flaps, and anything else that might become entangled.
It is not necessary to run the PTO at the full 540 rpm. You
may run it any lower speed that provides sufficient meter
pressurization (page 15).
Check Oil Level
1. Verify that the PL5500 planter is level front to back
and side to side.
2. Inspect the sight gauge (8) on the pump system
reservoir tank. The oil level (9) must be aligned with the center border of the OIL FILL LINE decal.
Hot Surface and Hot Fluid Hazards:
Assess the tank temperature before adjusting oil level. Draining excess hot oil could result in a severe burn. If the PTO has been
operated recently, the oil temperature could be as high as 180°F (82°C).
3. Add or drain oil as needed to obtain the correct amount. Some adjustment is normally required with a new system,
or after a filter change.
NOTE:
The fill level dimension from tank bottom is:
(a) 9.15 inches (23.2 cm)
If the decal requires replacement, adjust the center border line to this height.
Inspect Hoses and Fittings
4. Check that all hydraulic fittings are tight and dry. Inspect all hoses for damage, wear, and fatigue. The PTO pump
system is a closed system; any visible fluid may be an indication of a leak.
Oil and Filter Change
Oil Fill
A dry or fully drained system item may require as much as 6.5 gallons (25 liters) of oil to charge the cooler, pump,
motor, hoses, filter, and valve, and leave 5.5 gallons (21 liters) in the reservoir.
Before adding oil, check that the drain plug, located at the bottom of the oil reservoir, is secure, and there are no signs
of leaks in hoses or at any system fittings.
Oil Specification
10W
-
30 good quality mineral base hydraulic fluid, viscosity 70 to 250 SUS at 210°F (100°C).
1. Remove the filler cap (2).
2. Add oil until the oil level in the tank, as observed on the sight gauge (3), reaches the fill line on the decal (the
horizontal mid
-
border of the decal).
The fill line is:
9.15 inches (23.2 cm)
above the tank bottom.
If the decal (858-003C) requires replacement, adjust the center border line to this height.
