HYDRAULIC OIL
1. With the handle in vertical position, remove the plug
cap from the hydraulic pump (Figure 29).
Figure 29. Removing Plug/Breather Cap
2. Remove the breather plug with a 24 mm wrench at the
top of the hydraulic hydraulic pump.
3. Remove the hydraulic hose connected to the cylinder
on the vibrator side (Figure 30).

MAINTENANCE
7. With the direction control lever at the forward-most
position, secure the guard frame with a rope to
immobilize (Figure 31).

(Forward Position)
8. Pour hydraulic oil (550 cc) to the hydraulic pump
breather plug attachment hole (Figure 29).
9. Remove the air releasing plug of vibrator cylinder. Oil
will then come out from the air releasing plug. After air
bubbles stop coming out, reattach the plug. Tighten
securely (Figure 30).
10. Release the direction control lever and move the lever
forward and reverse several times (until no air bubbles
are seen). Keep the lever at the forward position for
10 seconds every time. (Because the check valve is
opened at the maximum forward position and air bubble
will come out from the oil tank of the hydraulic pump).
11. In case the air bleeding is insufficient, repeat steps 9
and 10.
12. Attach the hydraulic pump breather plug and put on
the plug cap. After making sure the hydraulic oil in the
pump is at OIL LEVEL, attach the breather plug.

is higher, oil will burst out from the breather plug.
