Fluid and filter recommendations

© Danfoss | August 2018
To ensure optimum life, perform regular maintenance of the fluid and filter. Contaminated fluid is the
main cause of unit failure. Take care to maintain fluid cleanliness when servicing.
Check the reservoir daily for proper fluid level, the presence of water, and rancid fluid odor. Fluid
contaminated by water may appear cloudy or milky or free water may settle in the bottom of the
reservoir. Rancid odor indicates the fluid has been exposed to excessive heat. Change the fluid
immediately if these conditions occur. Correct the problem immediately.
Inspect vehicle for leaks daily.
Change the fluid and filter per the vehicle/machine manufacturer's recommendations or at these
intervals. We recommend first fluid change occur at 500 hours of operation. Change the fluid more
frequently if it becomes contaminated with foreign matter (dirt, water, grease, etc) or if the fluid is
subjected to temperature levels greater than the recommended maximum.
