CHANGE AND CHECK OIL LEVEL
DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic pump from the solution pump while performing any of the
tasks listed below. If the hydraulic pump is diconnected from the solution pump, the hydraulic
pump must be primed. For the procedure to prime the hydraulic pump, consult the “Priming
Procedure”.
Change the oil after first season of operation. Thereafter, change the oil every five years. The
procedure to change the oil is as follows:
1.
Turn off the gas and electrical supply.
2.
Remove the front panel of the unit; the pump cover can remain in place.
3.
A hole is located in the bottom of the base pan to allow the positioning of a container for the
collection of the old oil.
4.
Unscrew the oil drain plug (No. 2 in Figure 32) using a 6mm hex key wrench.
5.
Let the oil drain into the waste oil container (the quantity of oil is about 0.5/0.6 quarts).
6.
Replace the oil drain plug. Do not over-tighten.
7.
Remove the oil fill plug (No. 1 in Figure 32) using a 6mm hex key wrench.
8.
Refill with 0.6 quarts of Servel oil or approved equivalent. Let any excess oil drain from fill plug
opening.
9.
Replace the oil fill plug. Do not over-tighten.
10. Turn on gas and electrical supply to unit and check for correct hydraulic pump operation.

PRIMING PROCEDURE
1.
Turn off gas and power supply to the unit.
2.
Turn the lower pulley to where the white mark is in the 9 o’clock position (i.e. horizontal).
3.
Remove the hydraulic hose’s flared-fitting from the hydraulic pump cylinder. Keep the loose end
of the hose up, so the oil does not drain out. Fill hose with oil if necessary.
4.
Fill the pump cylinder to the top with oil.
5.
Tigh
ten the hose’s flared-fitting onto the hydraulic pump cylinder.
6.
Turn the pulley clockwise to where the white mark is in the 6 o’clock position (the bottom-dead-
center BDC as shown in Figure 33).
7.
Loosen the hose’s flared-fitting from the hydraulic pump. DO NOT REMOVE.
