SAFETY, OPERATORS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
11 MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
11.7 ADJUSTMENT OF THE NEUTRAL
POSITION OF THE HYDRAULIC DRIVE
This adjustment should only be performed by an
authorised service/dealer
11.5 MAINTAINING THE HYDRAULIC DRIVE
The maintenance of the hydraulic drive requires
properly trained service personnel.
Regular maintenance should address the torque of
hydraulic connections and bolts, replacement of
pressure hoses and oil refilling.
NOTICE:
The maintenance of the hydraulic parts must
be carried out in a very clean working area.
Any contamination brought into the hydraulic
circuit may cause damage. If replacing any
part, remove all contamination by rinsing it
with cleaning fluid.
NOTICE:
the hydraulic drive must never work without or
with an insufficient amount of oil, not even for
a short time
11.6 CHECKING AND REFILLING OIL
Check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank daily.
Measure the oil level with the dipstick in the cap of
the tank. The oil level must be between the limit
marks. If you are working in extreme conditions, the
level of oil (at ambient temperature) must reach the
upper limit mark on the dipstick.
When checking the oil, the engine must be off and
the oil cold.
NOTICE:
If you are checking warm or hot oil, the level
of oil may be higher (and reach above the limit
mark) due to the oil volume expansion.
Do not overfill the hydraulic tank.
