Owner Service - Woods BH6500 Operator's Manual

The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Before working on backhoe, extend boom and
dipperstick and place bucket on ground. Make sure
that all system pressure has been relieved by oper-
ating controls before maintenance, service, or dis-
connecting any hydraulic lines.
CAUTION
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
OPTIONAL AUXILIARY PUMP
Daily, check the fluid level in reservoir with filler cap
dipstick. Contamination will shorten the life of hydraulic
system components. Change oil and filter after first 20
hours of operation and then every 200 hours of opera-
tion or annually, whichever occurs first. In extremely
dusty or dry conditions, more frequent changes may be
necessary. System capacity is approximately 5 to 5-1/2
U.S. gallons.
Drain the oil into a suitable container and dispose of
properly in a manner compatible with the environment.
ENGAGE PTO AND RUN AT IDLE FOR 5 MINUTES,
THEN CHECK OIL LEVEL. Add fluid as necessary.
IMPORTANT
■
Fill with clean oil. Do not mix oil types or
grades.

RELIEF VALVE
This valve is pre-set at the factory to prevent system
pressure from exceeding 2100 psi. Do not attempt to
reset the valve for open-center hydraulic systems. If
valve is malfunctioning, replace it with an authorized
factory replacement part or have service done by a
qualified dealer.

Do not over-tighten the chain. Over-tightening
will cause excessive load and premature failure.
