Hydraulic pressure controlled by the relief valve is
factory set at 2500 PSI.
NoTE
Hydraulic fluid drives the feed roller. Check the fluid
level daily and fill as needed. The fluid and filter should
be changed and system cleaned if the fluid becomes
contaminated with foreign matter (water, dirt, grease, etc.)
or if the fluid has been subjected to temperatures greater
than the maximum recommended.

Handle pressurized hydraulic fluid carefully. Escaping
pressurized hydraulic fluid may penetrate your skin
causing serious injury. This fluid may also be hot
enough to burn. Serious infection or reactions can
develop if immediate proper medical treatment is not
administered.
WaRNING
The hydraulic pump requires premium hydraulic fluids
containing high quality rust, oxidation, and foam inhibitors.
These include premium turbine oils, API CD engine oils
per SAE J183, M2C33F or g automatic transmission
fluids meeting Allison C-3 or Caterpillar TO-2, and certain
specialty agricultural tractor fluids.
In the unlikely event that the oil is completely drained
from the hydraulic system, oil must be added and any air
bubbles must be purged from the system. To do this:
Clean all system components (reservoir, fittings, 1.
etc.).
Fill the hydraulic reservoir. 2.
start the engine and run at the lowest possible rPM. 3.
As you purge air from the unit, the oil level in the 4.
reservoir will drop and bubbles may appear in the fluid.
Refill the reservoir as necessary.
Run the feed roller in both directions for several 5.
minutes until any remaining air purges from the unit.
Refill the reservoir as necessary.
Shut down the engine, check for and correct any 6.
fluid leaks, and check the reservoir level. Add fluid
if necessary. The hydraulic pump is now ready for
operation.
