before operation.
LUBRICATION
Use No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease and lubricate every 100 hours. The Sweep Star V62 has sev-
enteen grease fittings. All bearings are sealed bearings. When inserting grease, be careful not to ruin the seal, if
this happens, replace the bearing at once.
Be sure to wipe grease fitting clean before injecting grease. Give only one or two pumps of grease at each lubri-
cation.

HYDRAULIC OIL
1. Use SAE 10W-40 API Service SJ or higher motor oil.
2. For proper warranty, change oil every 500 hours or annually, which ever is first and change the filter after
the first 20 hours, then at 100 hours, then every 250 hours thereafter.
3. The oil level should be 2" to 2 1 /
2
" from top of the tank when fluid is cold. Do not overfill.
4. After changing oil and/or filter, run the machine for a few minutes. Check oil level and for leaks.
5. Always use caution when filling hydraulic oil tank or checking level to keep system free of contaminants.
Check and service more frequently when operating in extremely cold, hot or dusty conditions.
6. If natural color of fluid is now black or smells burnt, it is possible that an overheating problem exists.
7. If fluid becomes milky, water contamination may be a problem.
8. If either of the above conditions happen, change oil and filter immediately after fluid is cool and find cause.
Take fluid level readings when system is cold.
9. In extreme temperatures you can use straight weight oil. We recommend SAE 30W API Service SJ or
higher when hot (above 90°F (33°C)) and SAE 10W API Service SJ or higher when cold (below 32°F (0°C))
ambient temperature. Use either motor oil or hydraulic oil, but do not mix.
10. Oil being added to the system must be the same as what is already in the tank. Mark tank fill area as to
which type you put in.
