WARNING
5.5 LubRIcATIoN
ImPoRTANT
Polyurea and lithium-based greases are not compatible.
Mixing the two grease types may lead to premature
failure.
NoTE
Do not over grease bearings. Overfilling can lead to
excessive heat and/or unseating of the seals. Add
grease slowly and under light pressure. Whenever
possible, rotate bearing slowly while lubricating.
lubricate the machine periodically with a lithium-based
grease. Extreme working conditions will require more
frequent greasing. Check the wheel bearings after the first
20-25 hours of use and repack with grease once a year.
5.3 FILLING HYdRAuLIc FLuId
5.4 cHANGING HYdRAuLIc oIL FILTER

The hydraulic tank is located in the back of the machine.
Check the fluid level with the dipstick before each use.
Check the fluid on level ground with the jack stand in the
down position. 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 fluids meeting Allison C-3 or Caterpillar TO-
2, and certain specialty agricultural tractor fluids.
Do not overfill.
Fill the hydraulic fluid tank with the ram
