Operating Fluid Compatibility

The standard system is designed for use with a wide range of fluids; however, the O-ring
seals are Nitrile; use of solvents, fuel oils, brake fluids or other, similar aggressive fluids
can damage the seals. The table below details the two alternative versions of this
instrument, which offer increased compatibility with other fluids.
Rotate reservoir dust cover through ½ turn and fill reservoir approximately 3/4 full with
the appropriate fluid. Rotate dust cover back to cover reservoir.
To avoid damage to the instrument, the operator should check
the quality of the operating fluid during use. If the fluid
becomes discolored, cloudy or particles appear in the reservoir,
the system should be drained and flushed with clean fluid.
