Oil & Filter Type - It has been determined that your Salsco machine will perform better by
using a 25 micron filter. Salsco recommends using Mobil DTE 26 or Citgo HYD 68, non-
detergent hydraulic oil, or their equivalents. The oil should have a viscosity rating of at least
100 SSU. While this is not a necessity, it will improve the overall performance of your
machine. Salsco is now using this filter and hydraulic oil on all our machines using
hydraulics.

DECALS MAY BE OBTAINED BY CALLING SALSCO @ 1-800-872-5726, OR THE DEALER IN YOUR
