5.11 Hydraulic Oil Requirements

Wacker Neuson recommends the use of a good petroleum-based,
anti-wear hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system of this equipment. Good
anti-wear hydraulic oils contain special additives to reduce oxidation,
prevent foaming, and provide for good water separation.
When selecting hydraulic oil for your machine, be sure to specify anti-
wear properties. Most hydraulic oil suppliers will provide assistance in
finding the correct hydraulic oil for your machine.
Avoid mixing different brands and grades of hydraulic oils.
Most hydraulic oils are available in different viscosities.
The SAE number for an oil is used strictly to identify viscosity—it does
not indicate the type of oil (engine, hydraulic, gear, etc.).
When selecting a hydraulic oil be sure it matches the specified SAE
viscosity rating and is intended to be used as a hydraulic oil. See
section Technical Data—Lubrication.
