HYDROSTATIC OIL
Changing the hydrostatic oil, filter or component
requires a subsequent system startup to purge the air
introduced in the circuit by any of these procedures.
Please refer to the training guide (or service guide) of
the vehicle for details on the procedure.
Refer to “TECHNICAL DATA” on page 114 for informa-
tion on the recommended oil. Refer to “Draining hose
for Hydrostatic tank” on page 78 for information on the
drain hose of the hydrostatic oil tank.
Lubricant Viscosity Recommendations
The proper viscosity of oil is determined by the ambi-
ent temperature. Refer to “TECHNICAL DATA” on
page 114 for information on the viscosity.
NOTICE
Using oil that is not recommended can cause
premature wear and void the warranty.
