Tank
The machine is delivered from the factory without oil. Fill the reservoir with a light hydraulic
oil as recommended in the chart below until the oil level is approximately 2" below the top
of the tank. The total capacity is approximately 23 litres (5 galls) Do not overfill. For ease
of filling when large quantities are involved the strainer basket can be prized from its
housing. If filling in this manner make sure that new oil is used and that the area around
filler and any filling utensils are clean.

Oil Supply
Check daily the oil level in the reservoir. No fixed time period can be quoted for oil
changes as operating conditions and maintenance standards vary so widely. Although the
oil does not wear out, it does eventually break down through contamination, oxidation and
condensation. Continual operation of the machine beyond its rated capacity to almost the
stall point of the cutter can cause overheating which produces insoluble gums, sludge,
varnish and acids. Overheated oil thins to give a sluggish performance and causes earlier
failure of seals and 'O' rings. Burnt and scorched oil odours and the oil darkening and
thickening are all signs of oxidation and indicate the oil should be changed. Moisture which
results from condensation can become entrapped in the oil and cannot be removed by
filtration so that contamination is a progressive factor. Contamination of the oil can be
reduced by:
• Performing all hydraulic servicing in a clean, dry, dust-free environment.
• Cleaning around the reservoir cap prior to its removal and keeping that area clean.
• Using clean containers when replenishing the system.
•Regular servicing of the filtration system
