IF YOU SUSPECT AN OIL LEAK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOCATE IT WITH YOUR
HANDS OR FINGERS. OIL UNDER PRESSURE PENETRATES SKIN VERY EAS-
ILY AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. USE WOOD, PLASTIC,
OR RUBBER TO RUB ALONG HOSES AND FITTINGS TO LOCATE THE
SOURCE OF THE LEAK.
The hydraulic fluid level is of most importance. Low levels can cause overheating and
damage to hydraulic components. The hydraulic system holds approximately 24 gallons of
fluid. With the machine on level ground, the oil level in the tank with fluid cold should come to
within three inches from the top of the tank. If it is necessary to add fluid, use a petroleum-
based, anti-wear hydraulic oil with ISO 46 viscosity grade or substitute with an operating
grade of 70-250 SUS. Oil temperature should not exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
There are certain things which need daily or regular attention to keep your Poultry House
Cleaner in good operating condition.

WARNING
The return filter pressure gauge
measures the pressure increase in the
return line. This increase is an indica-
tion that contaminates are collecting in
the filter element as designed. Normal
pressure readings should be as low as
0 - 5 PSI. When the gauge reading ex-
ceeds 20 PSI, (with fluid warm) the fil-
ter element should be replaced.
