ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY

When adding hydraulic oil, use only new oil from a sealed barrel. Used oil or oil from an open barrel may contain high levels of contamination. Transfer the oil into the hydraulic tank by using a hydraulic filter pump unit equipped with a properly operating 10 micron filter. This will insure that the oil being added is clean. Do not just pour the oil directly into the hydraulic tank since most oils (even from a sealed barrel) have contaminants that should be removed, before operating the hydraulic system.(Asm-B-0010 & Asm-B-0103)

Gearbox

Check the gearbox oil level. On level ground, gearbox should be filled until oil is visibly level with the lip of the filler plug aperture. Do not attempt to fill by removing the breather as the depth of tapped thread in the casing at this point is insufficient to allow repeated loosening and tightening of the breather plug.

The gearbox capacity is 1-1/2 pints. Use EP90 gear oil.

FITTING CONTROL UNIT IN CAB

An angled bracket is supplied to provide a mounting location for the control unit.

This bracket may be bolted to the fender or cab cladding in a convenient location ensuring that no structural member of the cab or roll bar is drilled.

In deciding the final position of the control box remember not to exceed the minimum acceptable bend radius of 8” for the cables.

When the control unit is removed from the cab ensure the rubber edge strip is fitted too the mounting bracket to cover any possible sharp edges.
