1.
Clean all system components (reservoir, fittings, etc.).
2. Fill the hydraulic reservoir.
3. Start the engine and run at the lowest possible RPM.
4. As you purge air from the unit, the oil level in the
reservoir will drop and bubbles may appear in the
fluid. Refill the reservoir as necessary.
5. Run the feed roller in both directions for several
minutes until any remaining air purges from the unit.
Refill the reservoir as necessary.
6. Shut down the engine, check for and correct any
fluid leaks, and check the reservoir level. Add fluid
if necessary. The hydraulic pump is now ready for
operation.
Change the hydraulic oil filter after the first 50 hours of
operation and every 200 hours thereafter.
To change the hydraulic oil filter:
1.
Using an oil filter wrench, turn the filter
counterclockwise.
2.
Once the filter becomes loose, turn it out the rest of
the way with your hand.
3.
Properly discard old filter.
4.
Lube the rubber seal on the new filter with clean
hydraulic oil.
5.
Install the filter onto the threaded pipe. Turn with your
hand until the filter is finger tight.
6.
Using an oil filter wrench, tighten the filter another 1/2
turn.
7.
Check hydraulic oil level and fill if necessary
The diesel engine is tested before shipping. In order to
test the equipment the fluid levels are filled. However,
before starting the machine, and every time the engine is
started thereafter, be sure to check the coolant level. If the
level is low, add fluid.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for coolant information
and maintenance.
Check the oil level before each use. Change oil as directed
in the engine owner’s manual.
