MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC OIL
1. Check hydraulic oil in every 100 hours of operation.
With handle bar positioned vertically (storage position),
remove breather plug (Figure 1) off the top of hydraulic
pump and check for proper oil level.
2. Replace hydraulic oil after first 200 hours and in every
1,000 hours of operation.
Replacing Hydraulic Oil
1. After removing plug cap of hand pump (Figure 7),
remove plug of breather (24 mm wrench) and disconnect
vibrator side of hydraulic hose (Figure 18) at vibrator
cylinder. With travel lever placed in the
FORWARD
position, drain hydraulic oil in the pump.
2. After draining, reconnect the hydraulic hose to vibrator.
3. Fill oil through breather hole of hand pump. (capacity:
about 300 cc). Use Shell Tellus Oil #46 or equivalent.
4. Removing breather plug at vibrator cylinder causes oil
to flow out of breather hole in a while. When aeration
disappears, replace the plug and tighten securely.
5. Replace breather plug of hand pump and fit the plug
cap. After making sure that oil in pump is at proper
level, replace the breather plug.
Make sure hydraulic oil in hand pump is at a normal
safe operating level. DO NOT over fill. Over filling
(excessive oil) will cause excess oil to blow out of
breather plug.
