Filling the Reservoir

OPERATION

Make sure the engine is stopped before opening the fill- er cap. Fill slowly with the recommended fluid. Add fluid as needed. Secure the filler cap before restarting the engine. Refer to the hydraulic fluid page in this section for determining correct fluid level.

•Change the hydraulic filter element every 200 hours of operation. Change more often if cold, moist or dusty conditions exist.

•Check oil cooler for debris. Remove debris with air pressure.

REMOVING CONDENSED MOISTURE FROM HYDRAULIC FLUID

Condensation is a frequent problem with cool mobile hydraulic circuits. This condition occurs in moist or cold climates. When warm air in the hydraulic tank draws moisture from the cooler air outside, water accumulates in the tank.

•Check hydraulic fluid level daily. Add fluid per speci- fications in this manual (Refer to HYDRAULIC FLU- ID in this section).

•Remove condensed moisture from the hydraulic fluid by pumping the hydraulic fluid into a 5 gal/20l container through the pressure hose. Make sure the engine is at idle when performing this procedure.

When the hydraulic reservoir is empty, turn the en- gine OFF immediately.

•Allow the fluid to sit long enough for the wa- ter to settle to the bottom of the container.

Slowly pour the fluid back into the hydrau- lic tank, avoiding the water at the bottom of the container.

CHECKING SUCTION HOSE

Make sure the suction hose (from the hydraulic tank to the pump inlet) is not kinked and is clamped securely. This reduces the risk of pump cavitation and sucking air into the system. All pump fittings should be tight.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC LINES AND FITTINGS

Check for loose fittings, leaks, etc., throughout the hydraulic circuit.

•Check hydraulic lines and fittings for leaks, kinks, etc. daily. Do not use your hand to perform this check.

ADJUSTING TRACK TENSION

•The track tension is adjusted with the unit lifted off the ground. Between the drive wheel and front idler wheel, there are 3 smaller rollers.

•Once the unit is lifted off the ground, adjust the track tension to achieve 3/8” to ½” sag below the center small roller.
