HYDRAULICS SYSTEM
Filling The Fluid Reservoir
NOTE: The reservoir is located inside the
machine and is accessible by tilting the
operator’s seat forward.
1. When the machine is cool and the hopper is in
the lowered position, remove the dipstick. Fluid
level should be between the high and low marks
on the dipstick.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR
TANK! DO NOT USE TRANSMISSION FLUID!
2.
If the fluid level is not acceptable, add hydraulic
fluid.
CAUTION
Minuteman International, Inc. recommends using:
Mobil DTE 10 Excel 32 hydraulic oil or equivalent.
Hydraulic Fluid Viscosity Specifications
Mobil DTE 10 Excel 32 - Viscosity, ASTM D445
cSt @ 40°C (104°F): 32.7
cSt @ 100°C (212°F): 6.63
Maintaining Hydraulic Oil Cooler Efficiency
Your machine is equipped with a hydraulic oil cooler,
it is integrated with the radiator and utilizes exhausted
radiator air from the engine fan to cool the hydraulic
fluid. To maintain its efficiency, periodically blow out the
radiator & oil cooler fins with compressed air - 100 psi
(689 kPa) maximum.
Changing The Hydraulic Fluid
1. Turn off the engine and engage the parking
brake.
2.
Place a drain pan on the floor below the reservoir.
3. Remove the drain plug located on the bottom rear
of the reservoir and allow the fluid to drain.
4.
Discard the fluid in an approved manner, then
replace and retighten the drain plug.
