Start-Up Procedure
NOTE: Place a clean container under Hydraulic Fluid
Overflow Screw to catch any overflow of Hydraulic
Fluid. Do not allow excess Fluid to spill onto the
ground.
1. Ensure that the Splitter is on a flat, level surface and
remove the Hydraulic Tank Cap and the Hydraulic
Fluid Overflow Screw from the Hydraulic Tank (Figure
14).
2. Using a long-neck funnel, slowly pour approximately
114 oz. (3.3 liters) of SAE 10W tractor hydraulic Fluid
or automatic transmission fluid, such as Dextron III,
into the hydraulic tank. Pour the fluid slowly, allowing
air to escape as you fill the tank.
3. When Fluid begins coming out of the Overflow Hole,
stop pouring and wait for the Fluid to stop flowing
from the hole. reinstall the Hydraulic Fluid Overflow
Screw.
4. Screw on the Hydraulic Tank Cap and hand tighten.
NOTE: The total hydraulic system fluid capacity is 154 oz.
(4.5 liters), but only add 114 oz. (3.3 liters) for now.
5. Lubricate the underside of the rail with grease (Figure
15). This will help to prevent wear between the Slide
Plates and the Rail.
