MVH-304GHB—MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:CAUTION :

Make sure hydraulic oil i is at a normal safe operating level. DO NOT over fill. Over filling (excessive oil) will cause excess oil to blow out of breather plug.

Replacing Hydraulic Oil

1.Remove the drain plug (Figure 29) at the bottom of the oil tank with a 6 mm hex wrench and drain the hydraulic oil.

2.Clean the filter with light oil.

3.Reinstall the drain plug to the oil tank. Apply seal tape or Roctite #575 to thread portion.

4.Fill tank with hydraulic oil. (Capacity: About 2,500 cc). Use ShellTellus Oil #46 or equivalent.

5.After filling tank, temporarily install cover. Loosen bleeder plug located at the top of the cylinders on side of vibrator (Figure 28). Air remaining in the circuit will be forced out of the bleeder plug.

6.Tighten the breather plug. Check oil level in the tank again.

7.Install the cover of oil tank. Coat packing with liquid packing such as Threebond #1215. Use loctite #242 for mounting screw.
