Ventrac 4500P - Checking the Hydraulic Oil Level

SERVICE
Service - 47
Drive Shaft
The front tting of the drive shaft can be reached
under the radiator, from the right side of the power
unit, using a grease gun with a 33 cm (13 inch) or lon-
ger rubber hose. Remove the right engine cover and
rotate the drive shaft so the grease tting is pointed
directly toward the right side of the power unit. Insert
the hose from the right side, under the hydraulic
couplers and the radiator, directly in line with the
grease tting. Push the hose onto the grease tting
and hold in place while greasing. The rear tting can
be reached by pulling back the canvas debris barrier
to the rear of the radiator.
Seat Slide
Optional 3 Point Hitch
A
The front grease tting on the 3 point cylinder can be
greased through an access hole (A) in the right foot
platform panel.
Checking the Hydraulic Oil Level
Check the hydraulic oil level when the hydraulic
system is cold, prior to operating the power unit. If
the hydraulic system is warm, allow one hour for the
hydraulic system to cool before checking the oil level.
Checking the oil level when the hydraulic system is
warm will produce an inaccurate oil level reading.
ATTENTION
After connecting a new attachment or kit that runs
o the power unit’s hydraulic system, run the at-
tachment through a complete cycle, then stop and
check the hydraulic oil level.
1. Park the power unit on a level surface and adjust
the steering to aim the power unit straight ahead.
2. Fully raise the front hitch and lower the 3 point
hitch (if equipped).
3. Shut o the engine and allow time for the hydrau-
lic system to cool.
4. The hydraulic oil
A
B
tank (A) is located under
the hood and dash.
5. Check the oil level in
the plastic sight tube (B)
next to the hydraulic oil
tank. The oil level should
be within the proper
range indicated by the
oil level decal on the
hydraulic oil tank.
6. If the hydraulic oil level is below the low mark on
the decal, add HydroTorq XL synthetic hydraulic oil
until the proper level is reached.
