CHECK HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
Preparing the Unit to Check the Oil Level
Before checking the oil level or adding oil, make sure the
unit is in the following position with all cylinders collapsed:
Truck – on level ground
Tailgate and Body – fully down and locked
Packer Panel – in the in-transit position with all
cylinders retracted
Lift Arm – is fully retracted and in the stowed position
The oil tank is mounted behind the chassis cab. The oil
level in the standard tank must be kept between the low
and full marks as indicated on the sight gauge. See the
figure below.
Check the hydraulic oil level (after warning up the oil) daily
or every eight (8) hours, whichever comes first. Fill as
necessary.
Important: Contamination is a hydraulic system’s worst
enemy. Do not let dirt enter the system. Use a clean rag
and remove dirt or other contamination around any system
component before you disconnect or remove it. While you
fill the reservoir, filter the oil through a 200 mesh (or finer)
screen. Never use a cloth to filter the oil.
When to Change Oil Filter Element
Change the filter more often under certain conditions such
as an extremely dusty atmosphere or area. Use only Heil
replacement filters. Purchase the filter element from your
local Heil Dealer.
Change the filter element every 1000 hours or every six (6)
months or when indicated by the filter monitor light located
in the cab.
