Hydraulic fl uid drives the feed roller. The machine was
shipped with fl uid, as it was tested at the factory. However,
check the fl uid levels before initial operation and add if
necessary.
The hydraulic pump requires premium hydraulic fl uids
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
fl uids meeting Allison C-3 or Caterpillar TO-2, and certain
specialty agricultural tractor fl uids.
Check the level of coolant before you start the diesel
engine. While operating, make sure the fl uid is between
the full and the low marks. Add if necessary. Refer to the
engine owner’s manual for further coolant information.
Gasoline and diesel fuels are highly
fl ammable and their vapors are explosive.
To prevent personal injury or property
damage:
Store fuel only in approved containers, in
well ventilated, unoccupied buildings, away
from sparks or fl ames. A container with a capacity of 2
gallons or less with a pouring spout is recommended.
Do not fi ll the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running,
since spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with
hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine
near spilled fuel. Never use fuel as a cleaning agent.
DO NOT MIX OIL WITH FUEL.
Use only those types of fuels that are recommended in
your engine owner’s manual.
