PREPARATION FOR USE
ENGINE
1.
NOTICE
Do not operate the TracHorse until you have read
the engine operating and maintenance instructions
manual furnished in addition to this manual.
Engine Crankcase Oil Level
Always check the oil level before starting the engine.
Make sure the oil level is at the FULL MARK on the
dipstick. Do not overll. Use oil as specied in the
engine operating and maintenance manual.
2.
NOTICE
The engine oil sump must never be overlled.
Overlling can cause the engine to overheat and
cause crankshaft seal damage.
Engine Fuel Level
Check the fuel level. If low, ll with DF-1 or DF-2
diesel fuel (A.S.T.M. D975-66T No. 1 or no. 2 dark).
NOTICE
Shut the engine off before attempting to add fuel to
the fuel tank. Do not remove the fuel cap while the
engine is running. Do not add fuel to the tank while
the engine is hot. Do not ll the fuel tank to a point of
overowing.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Check the sight gauge in the hydraulic uid reservoir for
the proper uid level.
Use uids meeting the following specications.
VISCOSITY (FLUID THICKNESS)
U.S.METRIC

The following uids work well over a wide temperature
range at startup, allow moisture to settle out and resist
biological growth that may occur in cool operating hy-
draulic circuits. These uids are recommended by Stan-
ley Hydraulic Tools. Other uids that meet or exceed the
specications of these uids may also be used.

Before starting the engine make sure the tool circuit
switch is in the OFF position.
DUAL CIRCUIT OPERATION
Facing the panel, the male quick disconnect ttings are
the PRESSURE FLUID OUT tting. The female quick
disconnect ttings are the RETURN FLUID IN (RE-
TURN) tting.
The “Dual Circuit” control panel contains connections for
two 5 GPM tool circuits. In addition, the two circuits may
be combined into one 10 GPM tool circuit.
