Function
The large, 24 gallon tank, is used for storing and monitoring fuel. The
smaller, 17 gallon tank, is used for storing and monitoring the hydraulic oil.
Use
On the top of the fuel tank and on the side of the hydraulic tank is a sight
gauge. The gauges show you the amount of oil, or fuel, that is in the tank.
Allow the machine to cool down before adding hydraulic oil or fuel. Remove
the filler cap slowly to relieve any pressure that may be built up.
When adding fuel, leave space in the tank for vapor to expand. A completely
full tank could overflow if exposed to a rise in air temperature. Screw the
filler cap back on and tighten until it seals.
Below the hydraulic tank, and behind the machine frame is the hydraulic oil
shut-off valve. Close these valves to avoid spilling fuel or oil during
maintenance.
DANGER!
Exposing fuel to an ignition source such as a flame or
spark will result in explosion, fire, serious injury, or death.
Never smoke, light a flame, or create a spark around the
fuel tank. Store the machine and extra fuel away from
ignition sources.
After use of the machine hydraulic oil becomes extremely
hot and is pressurized which will burn or puncture the
skin if not handled properly. Allow the hydraulic oil to cool
down and relieve built up pressure before conducting
maintenance, such as adding oil.
Safety
Each tank has a filter. The hydraulic oil filter is located on the side of the
hydraulic oil tank. The fuel filter is locate in the engine enclosure. See your
engine operator manual for more detail.
Over time hydraulic oil will create a sludge. This is a fluid transformation
where the oil will become thick and sticky, contaminating good oil if left in
the tank too long. The inspection cover allows access to the inside of the
hydraulic oil tank for cleaning out the sludge deposits. To remove the
inspection cover, drain the tank, remove the bolts and washers, and remove
the cover from the tank.
Maintenance
• Replace the fuel and oil filters every six months or as recommended
by your engine manufacturer
• Use only original manufacturer parts when replacing filters
• Inspect and clean the inside of the hydraulic tank when sludge
deposits accumulate
*Feature varies depending on the model you have ordered, see the options tabs for details on your model.
