Filling the oil tank with hydraulic oil
CAUTION
The oil used for filling must be clean. Do not mix different oils (a mixture will
change the oil properties).
Hydraulic oils must have been dealt with according to cleanliness requirements ISO 4406: -/16/13.
Hydraulic oil that is approved for EFFER products must comply with one of the following standards
or equivalents:
• DIN 51524 part 2HLP
• ISO L-FD
• ISO L-HM
Verify with the supplier that the quality and performance of the hydraulic oil complies with the
previous standards.
When changing from mineral oil to a non-polluting synthetic oil, or when changing to biodegradable
oil, contact an authorised service workshop.

Where to use them
Viscosity of oil
The viscosity of the oil is of great importance to achieve high efficiency of the hydraulic system.
The naming of the oil in the table below: 32, 46 or 68 tells the viscosity of that oil at 40°C (104°F)
(reference temperature).
