HYDRAULIC/HYDROSTATIC FLUID SPECIFICATIONS
Use Melroe hydraulic/hydrostatic transmission fluid (P/N 6563328).
If
this fluid is not
available, use
10W-30
or
10W-40
SAE Motor Oil.
Use Class SE or SF motor oil
(5W-30
at temperatures below
1Q
°F (23°C)).
DO
NOT use automatic transmission fluids in this loader or permanent damage to
the transmission will result.
Where temperatures below zero are common, loaders must be kept in a warm
building. Extra warm-up time must be used each time the loader
is
started during cold
temperature conditions. Cold fluid will not flow easily and it makes action of the
hydraulic function slower. Loss of fluid flow to the hydrostatic transmission pump
(indicated by
TRANS light ON) will cause transmission damage
in
less than 60
seconds time.
IMPORTANT
When
the
temperature
is
below
-20
°F (-30°C),
hydrostatic
oil
must
be warmed before starting.
The
hydrostatic
system
will
not
get
enough
oil
at
low
temperatures and
will
be damaged. Park
the machine
in
an area where
the
temperature
will
be above OaF (-1S0C)
if
possible.
