There are only FIVE items of routine maintenance associated with the hydraulic system.
1. OIL FILTER - Ten micron filtration of the hydraulic oil is provided by a spin on type filter mounted
on the tank return line . The element should be changed after the first 50 Hours of operation and then
every 500 working hours. Suitable replacement elements are:
CANFLO RSE-30-10
GRESEN K-22001
PARKER 921999
ZINGA AE-10
2. OIL LEVEL - Oil level should be maintained in the upper half of the level gauge. Normally the rate
of oil consumption will be very low and it should be unnecessary to add oil more often than at filter
changes. Add oil only to the top line on level gauge.
The M-16, M-20 is shipped from the factory with Texaco Rando HD 46 hydraulic oil. Generally any
brand of recognized mineral hydraulic oil with the same properties should be compatible with Duro
AW46, but to avoid any risk we suggest staying with Rando HD 46. If it is desired to change brands, it is
necessary to drain the tank and 1/3 refill it with the new oil, operate through several full strokes of each
cylinder, drain the tank again, and finally fill the tank with the new brand.
Hydraulic tank capacity is approximately 11 US gallons (42 L).
Recommended replacement oils for Texaco Rando HD 46:
Chevron AW Hydraulic Oil 46
Esso NUTO H46
Mobil Mobil DEC 25
Shell Tellus 46
3. OIL TEMPERATURE - Oil temperature is indicated by a thermometer contained in the level gauge
. Oil temperature during steady operation should stabilize at about 50 - 55 F° ( 10-12°C ) above room
temperature. Thus in a 70 F° (20°C) shop one might expect an oil temperature of about 120 F° (50°C) Oil
temperature should never exceed 160 F° (70°C)
4. OIL PRESSURE - Oil pressure is factory set to 900 PSI (6200 kPa) and should not require further
attention except precautionary observation at start-up and every few days thereafter.
5. BLADE TENSION - Is preset at the factory and should under normal conditions not require
attention.

The M-16, M-20 heavy duty design should endure heavy operating conditions and provide the
customer with flawless machine performance. To extend good performance some care is required
especially as cleanliness is concerned.
The following areas should be kept clean:
- Control console free of dirt and grease.
- Door charts free of dirt and grease.
- Wheel boxes free of chips.
- Blade guides free of chips.
- Outfeed table free of chips.
- A large chip build-up should be avoided in the base of the saw.
NOTE: All parts must be cleaned before any repair service can be performed on them.
