Service & Maintenance Instructions - Salsco HP11 Operator And Parts Manual

1. Check all hydraulic hoses DAILY, or before each scheduled use, for wear and any signs of
chaffing. REMINDER: Drive motor hoses should be treated as wear items and should be
replaced on a yearly basis.
2. Check all fittings for any signs of leaking DAILY, or before each scheduled use.
3. Check all grease fittings as listed below on a WEEKLY basis, and grease as necessary. (Add
grease till grease leaks slightly from fitting.)
Bearings on roll housings - Quantity 4
Pivot bearing on main housing - Quantity 2
U-Joint on steering shaft - Quantity 1
4. Check engine to manufacturers specifications and maintenance. THIS ENGINE HAS AN OIL
SHUT OFF SWITCH. CHECK OIL LEVEL FREQUENTLY AS THE UNIT WILL STALL ON INCLINES
IF OIL LEVEL IS LOW.
5. Fill hydraulic tank to 4-6" below filler cap. Be sure to tighten cap till cap seals.
6. After approximately 1 WEEK of use, and then every 2 WEEKS thereafter, check drive chains
- one on each side on roller drive motor. Pivot motor to tighten chain. NOTE: Check and
adjust the tension of both drive motor chains on a regular basis. If chains are not tight, this
could cause severe sprocket wear and possible breakage.
7. After approximately 1 WEEK of use, and then every 2 WEEKS thereafter, check chains on
steering. Adjust as needed.
8. Pivot for articulating steering should be tight, with no play, much the same as wheel
bearings on cars.
9. Keep unit clean. Should rust form on rolls, simply drive the unit on a rough area till rolls are
clean.
10. Oil & Filter Type - It has been determined that your Salsco machine will perform better by
using a 25 micron filter. Salsco recommends using Mobil DTE 26 or Citgo HYD 68, non-
detergent hydraulic oil, or their equivalents. The oil should have a viscosity rating of at least
100 SSU. While this is not a necessity, it will improve the overall performance of your
machine. Salsco is now using this filter and hydraulic oil on all our machines using
hydraulics.
SAFETY IS A PRIME CONCERN AT SALSCO AND THE SAFETY DECALS ON YOUR MACHINE ARE A
HIGHLY VISIBLE AND CONSTANT REMINDER TO ALL OPERATORS. REPLACEMENT SAFETY
DECALS MAY BE OBTAINED BY CALLING SALSCO @ 1-800-872-5726, OR THE DEALER IN YOUR
AREA.
