FILLING INSTRuCTIONS.

Hydraulic fluid drives the feed roller. The hydraulic pump is di-

rect or belt driven from the engine or disk rotor.
The hydraulic pump requires premium hydraulic fluids contain-

ing high quality rust, oxidation, and foam inhibitors. These in-

clude 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 flu-
ids.
If system has no oil, follow this startup procedure:

Clean all system components (reservoir, fittings, etc.) before

starting the hydraulic pump.
After filtering the hydraulic fluid, fill the hydraulic reservoir.

Fill the inlet line leading from the reservoir to the pump before

start-up. Loosen the fitting at the pump on this inlet line until

oil bleeds out.
Start the engine and run at the lowest possible RPM.
As you purge air from the unit, the oil level in the reservoir

will drop and bubbles may appear in the fluid. Refill the

reservoir as necessary.
Run the feed roller in both directions for several minutes until

any remaining air purges from the unit. Refill the reservoir

as necessary.
Shut down the engine, check for and correct any fluid leaks,

and check the reservoir level. Add fluid if necessary. The

hydraulic pump is now ready for operation.

Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are ex-

plosive. To prevent personal injury or property

damage:
Store fuel only in approved containers, in well

ventilated, unoccupied buildings, away from

sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine

is hot or running. 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.
