- Maintain the fluid level within the range specified on the dipstick at all times.
- Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every 100 hours of operation.
- Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of the reservoir and drain the fluid into a suitable
container. Refill using only 10W AW hydraulic fluid.
- As contaminants in the fluid can damage hydraulic components, the fluid should be drained and
the reservoir and hoses flushed with paraffin whenever any repair work is carried out on the reservoir,
hydraulic pump or valve. For this work, contact your nearest service dealer.
NOTE: Dispose of used hydraulic fluid and engine oil only at authorised recycling centres.
