Changing the Hydraulic Oil

The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the

running parts of the pump.

Replace the hydraulic oil at least once a year.

1. A drain plug is located at the bottom of the oil tank. Place a suitable container under the

drain plug and remove the plug and allow the oil to drain into the container.

2. If the inside of the tank is not clean, remove the top cover of the tank and clean the tank

inside.

3. Check the drained oil. If there are metal particles visible, or if the oil has a grey color. This

can indicate worn out parts in the cylinder or the hydraulic unit.

4. Take care to prevent dirt and water getting inside the oil tank. Replace the drain plug and if

removed the cover.

5. Fill with hydraulic oil #68 SHELL BRAND or an equivalent with similar specifications.

6. Replace the oil fill cap.

7. Purge air from the hydraulic system.

Used oil products must be disposed of in a proper manner following your local regulations.
