Fill Hydraulic Tank
Fill Hydraulic Tank with Oil:
1. DO NOT START TRACTOR until you have
filled Hydraulic Oil Tank to a level as shown in
Sight Glass gauge and fill the Suction Hose to
Pump with Oil.
2. Remove Filler Cap. Remove Filler cap only
when ready to fill hydraulic Tank with Oil. Do Not leave the
Cap off and the system Open, always keep system
closed when possible. Avoid any oil contamination. (See
Figure 1)
3. Avoid Hydraulic Contamination by filtering the
Hydraulic Oil while filling the Hydraulic Tank. Filter bug-
gies or carts are commercially available for Hydraulic
system cleanup and Oil transfer. These consist of high
capacity filter, a Circulating Pump, a Drive Motor and
hoses for connecting to the units hydraulic system.
When adding Oil always use Clean new Oil from a sealed
container, If you suspect the Oil of being contaminated
don't use it. (See Figure 2 & 3). It is best to always use a
filter system when adding even new oil.
4. When adding Oil in the field keeping it clean is
critical, do not use dirty funnels or hoses. Do Not open
Hydraulic tank or any containers unless the openings
have been cleaned first. The outside of the containers
must be clean. If a windy dusty day do not fill and allow dirt
to blow into oil. Always add Oil using a pump system with
at least a 10 Micron filter system. (See Figure 4)
