Maintenance Instructions
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
To check the oil in the hydraulic power unit, remove
the plug from the unit and insert an allen wrench (as
a dipstick) until it touches the reservoir mounting bolt
that runs through the center of the reservoir. Oil lev-
el should be approximately 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. above
the bolt. To add hydraulic oil, use Chevron Rykon
Premium Oil ISO 68 or equivalent. System capacity
is 32 oz. (.95 liters)*.
NOTE:
To completely fill, or refill, the hydraulic
system,
DO NOT
fill with 32 oz. initially. When fill-
ing, add about 22 oz., operate the system and allow
oil to flow throughout the system. Then, continue
filling the reservoir with the additional 10 oz.
LUBRICATION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lubricate the machine
with the tractor engine running. Disengage
the PTO clutch, shut off the machine, and
remove the ignition key.
Proper lubrication is an important maintenance pro-
cedure. It reduces wear and makes the machine
quieter and easier to operate.
NOTE:
Tractor Lubrication Points are not shown
here. For Tractor Lubrication Points, refer to your
Tractor’s Operator’s Manual. If you do not have an
Operator’s Manual, you can download a copy at
www.walker.com.
* 32 oz (0.95 liters) is capacity if system is complete-
ly empty
