Information regarding operation with biodegradable oil
• Use only the biodegradable oils that have been tested and released by
Wacker Neuson. Contact a Wacker Neuson dealer for the use of other
products that have not been released. In addition, ask the oil supplier
for a written declaration of guarantee. This guarantee is applicable to
damage occurring on the hydraulic components that can be proved to
be due to the hydraulic oil.
• Use only biodegradable oil of the same type for adding oil. In order to
avoid misunderstandings, a label providing clear information is located
on the hydraulic oil reservoir (next to the filler inlet) regarding the type
of oil currently used. Replace missing labels.
The joint use of two different biodegradable oils can affect the quality of
one of the oil types. Therefore, ensure that the remaining amount of
initial hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic system does not exceed 8 % when
changing biodegradable oil (observe the manufacturer indications).
• Do not add mineral oil – the content of mineral oil should not exceed
2 % in order to avoid foaming problems and to ensure biological degra-
dability.
• When running the machine with biodegradable oil, the same oil and
filter replacement intervals are valid as for mineral oil.
• Always have the condensation water in the hydraulic oil reservoir
drained by a Wacker Neuson service center before the cold season.
The water content may not exceed 0.1 % by weight.
• The instructions in this Operator’s Manual concerning environmental
protection are also valid for the use of biodegradable oil.
• If additional hydraulic attachments are installed or operated, use the
same type of biodegradable oil for these attachments to avoid mixtures
in the hydraulic system.
• Subsequent change from mineral oil to biodegradable oil must be
performed by a Wacker Neuson service center.
