GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
6. LUBRICATION, OIL & FUEL
1. A written record should be kept to log hours of use.
2. Motor oil in the crankcase of the engine and fuel specifications should be followed from
the engine manufactures manual supplied with the unit.
3. Dextron II or III automatic transmission fluid is recommended for the hydraulic system.
4. After every 5 hours of operation the unit should be stopped and, with the ram in a
retracted position, the hydraulic oil level should be checked. It should be 1" to 2" from the
top of the filler cap hole.
5. If a considerable amount of trailering or over the road use is necessary, the wheel bearings
should be packed with wheel bearing grease every 2000 miles or once a year, whichever
occurs sooner.
6. After every 50 hours of operation the motor oil should be changed and the air filter should
be cleaned, and changed if necessary.
7. Hydraulic oil should be changed at least once a year, but more frequently for heavy duty,
or commercial usage. In extremely dusty or dirty conditions the oil should be changed
more frequently to meet these unusual conditions.
