Lubrication
Minimum Requirements
for Hydraulic Oil
Viscosity of:
• 32.2 cSt at 104 °F (40 °C);
• 6.4 cSt at 212 °F (100 °C).
The oil must contain anti-wear and
anti-foam additives, rust and oxidation
neutralizers and self- protecting
agents.
The oil must also meet MIL-H-5606 or
SAE IOW “MS” standards. The
following oils may be used in the
E
XPERT 2000
TM
.
• Esso Ramdo 32 or Polar 47
• Texaco Ramdo 32
• Sunoco hydraulic oil 100
Note: For nordic regions, Shell
Tellus T 32 is strongly
recommended.
Hydraulic Oil Test
It is recommended to have the
hydraulic oil tested and analysed by a
lab to prevent hydraulic system or
pump breakdowns. This will also
optimize oil change frequency.
To take oil samples on Labrie
trucks, apply the following
procedure:
Note: The procedure may change
depending on the
corresponding lab sample
kits and standards. The
procedure presented here is
used as an example to
follow.
1. Apply all safety measures to
ensure safety around the vehicle
at all times;
2. Start the engine and raise the
body;
3. Install the body safety prop and
lower the body onto it;
4. Slowly lower the body so it rests
properly on the prop (see Figure
181. “Body safety prop”);
DANGER
DO NOT USE PROPS WITH A
LOADED
BODY. NEVER STAND
UNDER
A RAISED AND LOADED
BODY
