HYDROSTATIC DRIVE OIL
To ensure proper lubrication and operating temperatures
of the drive pump & wheel motors it is important that the
appropriate grade of lubricants are used and the correct oil
level maintained. This level should be checked daily.
NC recommend HVZ 46 High Viscosity. (Blue Colour)
Hydraulic oil to DIN51524-3.
DO NOT use zinc free hydraulic oil.
HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL CHECKING
Ensure the engine is stopped. Ensure the oil cooler and
hydraulic hoses are full by running the dumper a few
minutes prior to checking the oil level. In this condition
the oil level should always be above the suction strainer
in the tank, ideally just below the top (A) of the visual
indicator. Do not over fill the hydraulic tank as it needs
room to vent air. The oil level should be checked daily,
and topped up if necessary. Overfilling may cause oil
leaks.
The hydraulic oil can be topped up through filler cap (B)
Oil is toxic. If you swallow any oil, do not induce vomiting, seek medical
advice immediately. Used engine oil contains harmful contaminants
which can cause skin cancer. Do not handle used engine oil more than
necessary. Always use barrier cream or wear gloves to prevent skin
contact. Wash skin contaminated with oil in warm soapy water. Do not
use petrol, diesel fuel or paraffin to clean your skin.
