5.1.8 Check hydraulic oil level:
Service Interval: 40 hr.
a) Stop eng ine and wait for all moving par t s t o stop.
b) Tilt hopper up.
c) Clean area around hydraulic reservoir cap and r em o ve cap. O il level should
be to the top of the baff le inside t he t ank. If not, add oil. Use onl y Mobil 1
15W-50 synthetic motor oil. Replace hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten
until snug. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: The baffle is labeled “HOT” and “CO LD” . The oil level varies with
the temperature of the oil. The “HOT ” level shows the level of oil when it is
at 225°F (107°C). The “COLD” level shows the level of the oil when it is at
75°F (24°C). Fill to the appropriate level depending upon the t emperature
of t he oil. For example: If the oil is about 150° F ( 65° C), f ill to halfway
between the “HOT ” and “ CO LD” levels. If t he oil is at room tem per ature
(about 75° F ( 24° C)), fill only to the “CO L D” level.
5.1.9 Check tire pr essures:
Service Interval: 40 hrs.
a) Stop eng ine, wait for all moving par ts to stop, and r em o ve k ey.
b) Check tire pressur e in dr ive tires. Inf lat e dr ive tires to 15 psi (103 kPa).
c) The rear caster tire is semi-pneumatic and does not need to be inflated.
NOTE: Do not add any type of tire liner or foam fill material to the tires.
Excessive loads created by foam f illed tires may cause failur es to the hydro drive
system, frame, and ot her components. Foam filling t ir es will void the warranty.
