Maintenance Procedures Every 250 Hours or 6 Weeks
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
WARNING
At operating temperature, the hydraulic oil is
HOT. Do not permit the hot oil to touch the skin
and cause a burn.
CAUTION
Do not permit dirt to enter the hydraulic sys-
tem when the oil level is checked or the filter
is changed.
Never operate the hydraulic pump without oil
in the hydraulic system. The operation of the
hydraulic pump without oil will damage the
pump.
Check hydraulic oil level when oil is at operating
temperature, carriage is lowered, and engine is
stopped. Add hydraulic oil only as needed. If more
hydraulic oil is added than the FULL level, the
hydraulic oil will leak from the breather during
operation.
The oil level indicated by the dipstick
is most accurate when the oil temperature is 53 to
93 C (130 to 200
F)
. See Figure 28.
COOLING SYSTEM, CLEAN DEBRIS

Make sure that the path of the compressed air
is away from all personnel.

goggles or a face shield to prevent injury to the
eyes.
