HYDRAULIC FLUID REQUIREMENTS
This machine is equipped with “Petro-Canada
Hydrex XV” hydraulic uid and it is recommended to
be replaced with the same. “Petro-Canada Hydrex
XV” is an all season hydraulic uid. This is a premium
performance, long life anti-wear, hydraulic uid,
designed for all season use in heavy duty hydraulic
systems. “Petro-Canada Hydrex XV” allows year
round use under wide extremes of temperature. It
allows the hydraulic system to start at temperatures
as low as -40°C/-40°F, under no load conditions
and it improves lubrication of hydraulic components
at high operating temperatures. It will also help
protect against hydraulic failures during the wide
temperature swings of spring and fall.

Multi Viscosity motor oils are not recommended
to mix with “Petro-Canada Hydrex XV” hydraulic
oil. AW oils may mix with “Petro-Canada Hydrex
XV” hydraulic oil. The following are specications
and authorizations of compatible oils. Only a high
quality anti-wear (AW) hydraulic oil containing
foam, corrosion, rust and oxidation inhibitors should
be used. This viscosity grade depends on the oil
temperature in service, based on the climate and
operating conditions.
Alternative hydraulic oils are available, but they do
not equal the performance or longevity of the “Hydrex
XV” oil. Consult the following information supplied
by the oil distributor.
To nd the closest “Petro-Canada Hydrex XV” dealer call 1-866-335-3369, press 1 for English, then
1 for lubricants, then press 2 for new customer. Or go to “lubricants.petro-canada.com” and click
on “Contact Us” then click “Request A Quote” to nd your nearest Petro-Canada dealer.
The above chart is a suggested guide for viscosity
of hydraulic uids at start up ambient temperature.
The load, demand, and cleanliness of the equipment
will a󰀨ect actual oil temperatures which can increase
dramatically above ambient air temperatures during
operation. The actual viscosity needed is based
on oil temperature during operation and not air
temperature. Compare your uid specications with
the specications above to verify compliance.
Based on the varying temperatures of the area
where Bandit equipment is used, and the high
demand and loads placed on this equipment, Bandit
has lled each hydraulic system with Petro-Canada’s
Hydrex XV All Season Hydraulic Fluid for maximum
protection and performance.
Minimum Viscosity during operation = 12 cSt
Maximum No-Load Viscosity at start-up = 2000 cSt
When choosing a hydraulic uid - these maximum
and minimum specications must be met:
Hydraulic uids vary in their resistance to oxidation
at elevated temperatures, their ability to protect
against metal-to-metal contact under increasing
temperature, and their ability to separate water from
the uid. Viscosity is temperature dependant. Fluids
with high viscosity index (VI) will thin out slower at
higher temperature and thicken slower at colder
temperatures allowing a wider operating range.
Choose a uid that has test results in these areas
for best results.
These specications may vary depending on the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer for exact
specications.
