water pollutants, for example for absorbing
leaking fluids or fluids from oil separators.
Hydraulic oil is highly inflammable, combu-
stible.
1. Check hydraulic oil level on the hydraulic oil tank.
The oil level must not exceed the minimum
value ("min“).
2. Place the oil drain pan under the tank, remove
tank cap and refill hydraulic oil to the "max“mark.
3. Ensure that the vents work and that no vacuum is
generated.

An oil change is carried out depending on
the extent to which the hydraulic oil has
degraded. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Lower all runways (main lift and lifting table
completely, turn main switch off ("OFF“ position)
and lock it.
2. Place the oil drain pan under the hydraulic oil
tank, completely disassemble the tank and empty
out the remaining oil into the drain pan.
3. Replace the hydraulic oil tank in the correct
manner.
4. Fill approved hydraulic oil up to the "max“-mark.
Maximum capacity of empty tank is 11 liters.
5. On the SM40/65, bleed the main cylinder. On
the SM35/40/55LT variant, bleed all 3 hydraulic
cylinders.
6. Remove oil residues on the floor or on the lift with
an approved detergent. Dispose of used cleaning
