5.11 CHECK HYDRAULIC FLUID
Hydraulic fluid tank
Hydraulic fl uid drives the feed roller. Check the fl uid
level daily and fi ll as needed. The fl uid and fi lter should
be changed and system cleaned if the fl uid becomes
contaminated with foreign matter (water, dirt, grease, etc.)
or if the fl uid has been subjected to temperatures greater
than the maximum recommended.
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.
