Recommendations of Fluid and Filter Maintenance

© Danfoss | November 2020
To ensure optimal product 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. Water in the
fluid may be noted by a cloudy or milky appearance or free water 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: 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 that the recommended maximum.

Caution
High temperatures and pressures accelerate fluid aging. These conditions will require more frequent fluid
changes.
Change filters whenever the fluid is changed or when the filter indicator shows that it is necessary to
change the filter. Replace all fluid lost during filter change.
