NOTE: Cold weather operation requires special oil
considerations. Viscosity should not exceed 7500 SSU at
lowest startup temperature. Continuous operation should
range between 40–1000 SSU for all temperature ranges.

Contamination is a hydraulic system's worst enemy. DO
NOT let dirt enter the system. Use a clean rag and remove
dirt or other contamination around any system component
