Major Service

A major service consists of performing a “Minor Service,” plus draining the fluid, cleaning the tank and screen, and filling the tank with new fluid.

The hydraulic fluid is hot and under high pressure when the hydraulic pump motor is running. Always stop the resaw, make sure the pressure gauge reads 0 PSI, and make sure the fluid is cool before servicing.
