HYDRAULIC FLUID

Maintaining the proper hydraulic oil level and oil cleanliness is very important for continued trouble-free operation of the mower. The fluid level should be checked daily before the mower is put into service. A visual inspection of the hydraulic connections, hose guards and shielding should occur daily as well. The hydraulic fluid can loose its ability to lubricate in a number of different ways, most commonly contamination and overheating. Both scenarios can lead to catastrophic failure of the hydraulic components and costly repairs. Rhino offers fluids, filters, and oil analysis capabilities to help you maintain your hydraulic powered machine. Please be sure to follow the oil & filter change procedure that is outlined for your mower.

There are two types of hydraulic oil used by the factory, reference the chart below, Mobil DTE 16m and Chevron 1000 THF. Also, note the ISO cleanliness requirement for your mower.

Product	Oil Type	Oil	ISO	Filter Change	Oil Change
		Specification	Cleanliness	Recommendation	Recommendation
2160	UTF	Chevron 1000	18/16/14	First 100 / every 500	First 500 / every 1000
		THF		or 12 months	or 12 months

The above are prescribed intervals, but frequency may change based on use. It is important to monitor the filter clogging indicator.

There are many comparable oils that are equivalent to what is used by the factory. An ISO class oil with a viscosity that matches your operating conditions is recommended. For further information, please consult with the oil manufacturer for proper specifications.
