CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID
(Fig. 34)
The hydraulic system driving the reels is designed to
operate on anti-wear hydraulic fluid. The machines
reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 3.5
gallons of DTE 15M hydraulic fluid. Check level of
hydraulic fluid before engine is first started and
daily thereafter.
IMPORTANT: Use only types of hydraulic fluids
specified. Other fluids could cause system
damage.
