Bandit INTIMIDATOR 15XP/1390 Operating & Parts Manual page 96

MODEL 15XP/1390
Alternate hydraulic oils are available, but they do not equal the performance or longevity
of the "Hydrex XV" oil. Consult the following information supplied by the oil distributor.
CELSIUS (C) -40 -34 -29 -23 -18 -12 -7
FAHRENHEIT (F) -40 -30 -15 -10 0
NOTICE
The above chart is a suggested guide for viscosity of hydraulic fl uids at start up ambient temperature.
The load, demand, and cleanliness of the equipment will aff ect actual oil temperatures which can
increase dramatically above ambient air temperatures during operation. The actual viscosity needed is
based on oil temperature during operation and not air temperature. Compare your fl uid specifi cations with
the specifi cations below to verify compliance.
When choosing a hydraulic fl uid ‑ these maximum and minimum specifi cations must be met:
Minimum Viscosity during operation
Maximum No-Load Viscosity at start-up = 2000 cSt
Hydraulic fl uids vary in their resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures, their ability to protect
against metal-to-metal contact under increasing temperature, and their ability to separate water from
the fl uid. Viscosity is temperature dependent. Fluids with high viscosity‑index (VI) will thin out slower
at higher temperature and thicken slower at colder temperatures allowing a wider operating range.
Choose a fl uid that has test results in these areas for best results.
Based on the varying temperatures of the area where Bandit equipment is used, and the high demand
and loads placed on this equipment, Bandit has fi lled each hydraulic system with Petro‑Canada's Hydrex
XV All Season Hydraulic Fluid for maximum protection and performance.

Some component manufacturers require diff erent specifi c lubrication requirements, such as gear boxes,
undercarriage drives, fl uid engagement clutches, etc. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for information.
