18” CHIPPER SERVICE
HYDRAULICS
60
• Check hydraulic oil level daily. This
Carlton chipper is equipped with a gauge
that shows the level of oil and the
temperature of the oil. When filling the tank
with oil, the window of the gauge will also
fill with oil as the level gets higher in the
tank. Never fill the oil tank above the
BLACK line at the top of the gauge. Do not
run the machine with the oil level below the
RED line at the bottom of the gauge.
• On a new chipper, change the hydraulic oil
filter when the chipper has been operating
for 10 hours. Replace with the same type of
in-tank filter element supplied originally,
available through Carlton or Carlton dealers.
From this point on, change the filter every
200 hours of operation.
• Change hydraulic oil every 500 hours of
operation or at least once a year depending
on use. Flush the hydraulic tank when
changing the hydraulic oil. Replace oil if it
has a burnt odor or if it is contaminated.
Replace oil if the chipper has been stored for
a long period of time (all winter).
• Drain the hydraulic tank using the drain plug
located on the bottom of the tank. Dispose
of used oil according to state regulations.
HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER
• There is a hydraulic oil cooler on this
Carlton chipper to keep the hydraulic oil
from over heating. There is a temp sensor in
the bottom of the oil cooler and if the oil
temperature rises to 140° or higher the fan
comes on to cool the oil. The fan may go on
and off as the temperature of the oil changes
depending on the environment and the
chipper operation.
• Keep the fins clean. Use a garden hose and
a mild detergent. Do not use a power
washer as it may cause the fins to bend. Do
not use an industrial strength detergent that
may cause the metal to deteriorate.
THE OIL COOLER ON THE 18” CHIPPER IS LOCATED
