Troubleshooting - Ranger RP-50FC Installation And Operation Manual

• Change or replace the hydraulic oil with SAE-10W or 20W non-foaming hydraulic oil every 5000
cycles (or about once each year), depending on the degree of usage and the cleanliness of the
work environment. Verify that the ram is completely retracted during oil change service.
• During oil change service, remove the oil reservoir and clean away any dirt or other abrasive
materials around the filler cap. With the oil reservoir removed, clean away dirt or other abrasive
materials that have accumulated on the oil suction tube filter.
• Cycle the pump and ram without building pressure. Retract the ram and check the oil level in the
pump reservoir. Fill reservoir until the oil level is one inch from the bottom of the fill port.
