Maintainfluidlevel within the rangespecifiedon thedipstickat all times. • Changethe hydraulicfluid in the reservoirevery 100 hoursof operation.Followthe stepsbelow: 1. Disconnectthe suctionhosefrom the bottomof the reservoirtank. 2. Carefullyunthreadthe inletfilter and cleanit with penetratingoil. See Figure5-2. 3. Allowthe fluidto draininto a suitablecontainer. 4. Reinsertthefilter and refillthe reservoirwith three(3) gallonsof oil. Approvedfluids includeDexron®III/ Mercon®III automatictransmissionfluid, a 10Weight AW hydraulicoil or Pro-MixTM AW-32HydraulicOil. • Maintainfluid levelwithin the rangespecifiedon the dipstickat all times.Whencheckingthe fluid, always make sureto tightenthe dipstickuntilthe top of the threadsare flush with the topof the pipe.
