  • Page 57: Section V - Maintenance

    Section V - MAINTENANCE 5.1 The continued operation of your wrecker is largely dependent upon strict adherence to a properly scheduled preventive maintenance program. To help you in this program, We have provided the following information regarding lubrication, preventive maintenance, hydraulic system and safety devices care.

Pivot bearing surfaces and pins. (b) Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir and fill to about 2" from bottom of the reservoir filler neck. Refer to 5.4, part (a), SUMMARY OF REQUIRED LUBRICANTS for recommended oils to use. (c) Replace hydraulic oil filters after first week of operation, then every three (3) months thereafter. (d) Inspect all bolts for tightness and re-tighten as necessary.

  • Page 60 Section V - MAINTENANCE (cont'd) 5.5 CARE OF HYDRAULICS IN COLD CLIMATE When the Wrecker and Wheel Lift are used in seasonal cold climate regions (+20° F and below), the viscosity of the normally recommended 0W40 oil may increase to the point where it adversely affects hydraulic functions during starting and warm-up. If this is the case, it will be necessary to change fluids seasonally to maintain maximum system efficiency and life.
