5.12 Change Hydraulic Oil and Filter
Use plastic gloves to keep oil off skin. Dispose of used oil and filter in an ecologically
sound way.
1. Ensure the chipper is in a safe condition. (Refer to Section 5.1 "
Safe Maintenance" on
page 35.)
2. Ensure the chipper is level.
3. Clear all debris from around the hydraulic
tank (Figure 29).
4. Remove the black screw cap from the top of
the filter housing (Figure 29, Item 1).
5. Partially remove the filter element from the
inner cup and leave for 15 minutes to drain.
6. Remove the filter element from the cup.
7. Remove the drain plug and drain the oil into
a suitable container.
8. Replace the drain plug.
Figure 29 - Hydraulic Tank
9. Refill with hydraulic oil VG32 to between the 'Min' and 'Max' lines on the tank (50 litres)
(Figure 29Figure 29).
10. Refit the filter cup, with a new filter element, and refit the black screw cap. (Ensure the
O-ring seal stays in place.)
N.B. Use of the incorrect grade of hydraulic oil will cause running issues and block the
filters.
5.13 Check Hoses
The hydraulic roller and tracking systems operate at extremely high pressures and must be
maintained in a safe working condition. All the hydraulic hoses should be regularly
inspected for any signs of damage, chafing or leaks.
The hoses that run to the top motor have the highest chance of damage as they are
constantly moving.
If any hydraulic components are changed, new seals should be used on re-assembly and
all fittings should be re-tightened.
