MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

HYDRAULICS: Hydraulic Reservoir (continued)

Change hydraulic oil every 600 hours or 3 years.

To drain the reservoir:

1. Loosen hydraulic fitting and remove filler plug

as described under "To add hydraulic oil",

previous page.

2. Disconnect the pump supply hose (A) from the

pump.

NOTE: A drain pan with a capacity of 130 litres

(35 U.S. gallons) will be required.

Hydraulic Oil Filter

Change hydraulic oil filter (B) after the first 100

hours operation and every 250 hours thereafter.

To change:

1. Clean around the filter head.

2. Remove the filter and clean the gasket surface

of the filter head.

3. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket on

the new filter.

4. Install new filter. Turn the filter onto the mount

until the gasket contacts the filter head. Tighten

the filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn by hand.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a filter wrench to install

the filter. Over-tightening can damage gasket and

filter.

Hydraulic Relief Pressure

A possible cause of poor cutting performance

and/or excessive heating of hydraulic oil is low

relief pressure. To check relief pressure, install

pressure gauge at tapped elbow (C). Pressure

should be 4000 psi (27.6 MPa) with tractor engine

at operating speed and PTO engaged. If relief

pressure is low, replace relief valve cartridge (D).

ELECTRICAL

Use electrical tape and wire clips as required to

prevent wires from dragging or rubbing.

Keep lights clean and replace burnt bulbs.

To replace light bulbs:

1. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove screws (B)

from fixture, freeing amber cover.

2. Replace bulb, plastic lens, and reinstall screws.

NOTE: Bulb trade #1156.
