manual furnished with the power unit
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
•
Check hydraulic fluid level daily. Add fluid per specifications in this manual.
•
Remove condensed moisture from the hydraulic fluid by pumping the hydraulic fluid into a 5 gal/20 l container
through the pressure hose. Make sure the engine is at idle when performing this procedure. When the hydraulic
reservoir is empty turn the engine off immediately.
•
Allow the fluid to sit long enough for the water to settle to the bottom of the container. Slowly pour the fluid back into
the hydraulic tank, avoiding the water at the bottom of the container.
•
Each day, check hydraulic lines and fittings for leaks, kinks, etc. Do not use your hand to perform this check.
•
Change the hydraulic filter element every 200 hours of operation. Change more often if cold, moist or dusty
conditions exist.
•
Check oil cooler for debris. Remove debris with air pressure.
STORAGE
•
Clean the unit thoroughly before storage. Do not use water pressure.
•
Always store the unit in a clean and dry facility.
•
If the unit will be stored for a prolonged period (over 30 days), add a fuel additive to the fuel tank to prevent the fuel
from gumming. Run engine for a short period to circulate the additive.
•
Replace crankcase oil with new oil.
•
Remove spark plugs and pour approximately 1 ounce (30 ml) of engine oil into each cylinder. Replace spark plugs
and crank the engine slowly to distribute the oil.
•
Check hydraulic reservoir for water. If water is found, change the oil and circulate it through the tool hose and tool.
•
Disconnect tool hoses.
