4 Hydraulic system oil level
It is most important that the level of fluid in the
hydraulic reservoir is maintained within the specified
limits.
Topping up of the oil must be conducted in a
controlled workshop environment using a pressurised
filling system connected to a quick release coupling
on the system. Operator’s without a bulk oil delivery
system are supplied with an optional hand pump and
hoses.
It is most important that the hydraulic system is
maintained according to Dennis Eagle Limited
Maintenance Schedule and associated instructions.
System maintenance and filter element change
requirements are specified in Chapter 6 ‘Scheduled
maintenance’ of this Manual.
