Oil Supply

Check the oil level in the tank every day prior to start-up.

It is good practice to constantly check the oil level gauge as a ruptured oil hose
may empty the tank in a few minutes.

A pump or motor that runs out of oil will be damaged beyond repair.

Change the oil if it appears contaminated (discolored).

Oil replenishment precautions:
- Carefully clean the area around the filler neck before removal.
- Use a clean container when refilling the system.
- Check the filter system regularly.
- Never allow the oil level to fall below the liquid indicator.

Check daily that the hydraulic connections and fittings are in good condition.
Immediately correct any and all defects or leaks. It is a part of the day-to-day
maintenance that will reduce the expenses and extend the service life of the
machine.

Use two single-head wrenches for tightening fittings. Avoid excessive tightening.
Change any and all fittings that keep leaking.
