HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
(See figure 8)
1. Oil Specification:
CITGO Transgard Tractor
Hydraulic Fluid - Material Code 633310001
2. Capacity: 40 gallon
3. Maximum allowable operating temperature
240
_
F.
4. Check the oil level in the reservoir daily. It should
be maintained 1” from the top level on the sight
gauge.
5. Oil is added through a filter screen inside the filler
neck. Before filling, remove the screen, inspect
and clean if required.
6. Carefully clean dirt from the return filter head and
element. Replace the filter element every 500 hrs
of operation.
7. Drain reservoir and refill with new oil every 2000
hrs or annually, whichever occurs first. If the oil
becomes contaminated and appears milky
colored, replace immediately.
8. Every 100 hrs of operation, inspect all hydraulic
hoses, hose connections, pump seals and motor
seals for leakage. Tighten loose connections and
replace damaged components.
9.
A ball valve is provided at the bottom of the
reservoir where the suction hose is connected.
Turn this valve off to service hydraulic
components. This prevents draining of the
reservoir, however it is necessary to catch the oil
that drains from disconnected hoses into a
suitable container for proper disposal. Always
check and refill the reservoir as required when
servicing is completed.
Rear Gate Flashing
(See figure 9)
1. Swinging gate flashing strips are clamped to both
vertical ends of the rear gate frame. These strips
must bear against the vertical box sides to
minimize leakage.
2. To adjust, loosen the six 3/8" carriage bolts
clamping the flashing.
3.
Move the flashing strips so they contact against
the box wall and retighten bolts.
