Hydraulic fluid drives the feed roller. The machine was
shipped with fluid, as it was tested at the factory. However,
check the fluid levels before initial operation and add if
necessary.
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

specialty agricultural tractor fluids.
Check the oil level and, if needed, fill the engine crankcase
with the type and amount of oil specified in the engine
owner’s manual.
