6.1 MAINTAIN OIL LEVEL
Check hydraulic oil level every 30 hours of operation (sight gauge should be completely covered in oil when all tools
are retracted. Add Simplex oil (Model # AO1 – 1 gallon) when necessary. Oil level should be no more than 1” from top
of reservoir plate – with tools retracted and motor off.
6.2 CLEAN OIL INTAKE SCREEN ONCE A YEAR
Loosen and remove reservoir plate bolts. Lift pump unit off the reservoir, being careful not to damage the gasket.
Applies to the 1.5, 2 and 2.5 gallon reservoirs:
Remove the 5 Allen socket head cap screws securing the screen to the rst stage gear pump. Care should be taken
not to remove the center plate and gears. Remove and clean with non-amable solvent and blow dry clean. Reinstall
in reverse order and torque bolts to 75 inch pounds. Keep the motor and pump as clean as possible.
6.3 FLUSH THE PUMP
If you suspect your pump has been contaminated or discover
sludge or other deposits on internal components, you should
thoroughly ush the pump. Remove the old oil from the reservoir,
then thoroughly clean the reservoir and rell with a clean,
nonammable ushing oil. Reassemble the pump and motor to
the reservoir.
Run the pump in no load condition for 1 or 2 minutes maximum.
Unplug the pump and remove the motor and pump assembly
again. Now drain the ushing oil and re-clean the inside of the
reservoir. (Make sure ushing uid is also drained from pump
assembly). Rell the reservoir with Simplex hydraulic oil and
reassemble the pump.
