TipsWhen Draining and Filling the Hydraulic Oil System

1.Itwilltake3-4quartstofillthehydraulicsystemwhennew,and somewhat less when changing the oil.

2.Remove the oil reservoir cap to speed oil draining.

3.When re-filling the system, raise the saw halfway up, then lift the rear of the saw until the Blade Flanges touch the ground. This will help to speed the filling process.

4.After filling the system, jack the saw up so the drive wheels are off the ground. Start the saw and move the Control Handle half way into FORWARD to purge air out of the system.

Long Term Storage

■Remove the battery.

■Drain fuel from fuel tank and fuel lines.

■Clean exterior with a cloth soaked in clean oil.

■Store unit covered with plastic sheet in moisture and dust- free location out of direct sunlight.

CAUTION

Never store the saw with fuel in the tank for any extended period of time. Always clean up spilled fuel immediately.

If the Blade Shaft is drained completely, it will require approximately 1 gallon to

NOTE refill. If the transaxle is drained as well, it will require approximately 1 additional gallon.
