5.12 Hydraulic Feed Maintenance
Note: Check the reservoir daily for proper fluid
level, the presence of water (noted by a cloudy to
milky appearance, or free water in bottom of
reservoir), and rancid fluid odor (excessive heat).
The hydrostatic pump normally does not require
regular fluid changes. The system filter should be
changed at 250 hour or annual intervals. 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 temperature levels greater than the
maximum recommended.
There is a greaseable bearing on each side of the
shaft on the hydraulic feed housing. Grease
periodically.
