2.Push the travel lever back and forth to drain the hydraulic oil from the hand pump (hydraulic oil reservoir).

3.After draining hydraulic oil, reconnect hydraulic oil hose to cylinder.

4.Place handle in upright position. Pull travel lever all the way back (reverse), and using a rope, secure travel lever to hand grip.

Adding Hydraulic Oil

1.Remove the breather cap and oil plug (Figure 33) from the hydraulic oil tank using a 24mm hex socket.

Figure 33. Hydraulic Oil Tank

2.Using a funnel, add ShellTellus Oil #46 or equivalent to the hydraulic oil tank through the oil filler port (Figure 34). Oil tank capacity is 50.7 fl. oz (1500 cc)

CAUTION

Make sure hydraulic oil 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.

3.Loosen bleeder plug located at top of hydraulic cylinder on side of vibrator (Figure 35). Air remaining in the circuit will be forced out of the bleeder plug. Once all air has been purged from the hydraulic system, tighten bleeder plug securely

4.Re-insert oil plug into hydraulic oil tank and tighten securely. Re-install breather cap.

LONG TERM STORAGE

When storing your compactor for long periods do the following:

Run the engine at idle speed for 3-5 minutes.

Stop the engine. Drain the engine crankcase oil while the engine is still warm. Fill engine crankcase with fresh oil.

Wipe any oil or dirt that may have accumulated on the compactor.

Store compactor in a cool dry place out of reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
