Fill the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
The Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir on the Power Unit must be filled with Hydraulic Fluid or automatic
transmission fluid before you begin normal operation.
The Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir holds approximately 1.5 gallons / 5.5 liters.
The Power Unit will
not work correctly until the reservoir is filled with approved Hydraulic Fluid.
Approved Hydraulic Fluids are any general purpose ISO-32, ISO-46, or ISO-68 hydraulic oil or
approved automatic transmission fluids such as Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, Shell
Tellus S4 / S3 / S2, or any synthetic multi-vehicle automatic transmission fluid.
⚠ WARNING Do not run the Power Unit without Hydraulic Fluid; you will damage it.
To fill the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir:
1. Remove the Reservoir Cap from the top of the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir.
Take care to
keep contaminants out of the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir.
2. Add the required amount of Hydraulic Fluid to the Reservoir.
3. If the Reservoir is low, add approved fluid until the fluid level is at least at the minimum level;
maximum level is best.
If your Reservoir does not have the MAX/MIN markings, full is approximately .5 in / 12.5 mm under
the Reservoir Cap.
4. When the Reservoir is filled, put the Reservoir Cap back on.
