Function
The large, 60 gallon tank, is used for storing and monitoring fuel. The
smaller, 41 gallon tank, is used for storing and monitoring the hydraulic oil.
Use
On the top of fuel tank is a sight gauge filler cap and on the side of 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.
On the top of the fuel tank is a fuel shut-off valve. Close this valve to avoid
spilling fuel 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 operator manufacturer
• Use only original manufacturer parts when replacing filters
• Inspect and clean the inside of the hydraulic tank when sludge
deposits accumulate
