Eastwood HYDRAULIC TUBING BENDER Instructions Manual page 6

CHECKING HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL
Use only a high quality, 10w hydraulic oil. DO NOT use motor oil,
transmission fluid or any other type of oil or fluid material.
The Eastwood Hydraulic Tubing Bender comes pre-filled with 10W Hydraulic Oil. Before
initial operation, it is important to verify that the level is correct and that no fluid was
lost during shipping.
1. Verify the Power Switch Cover is shut, preventing operation.
2. Disconnect the Bender from power supply.
3. Remove the Oil Fill Plug/Dipstick from the upper front area of the Oil Reservoir
(FIG 4).
4. Check oil level by observing the line on the Dipstick. The oil level is 100% full
when it is at the line.
5. If oil is not present on the Dipstick, a quality 10W Hydraulic Oil (not included)
must be added until it is present and at or below the line.
6. Replace Oil Fill Plug/Dipstick and tighten securely.
