2. When making repairs, use the least number of fit-
tings and connections to minimize flow resistance
and the possibility of leakage.
HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic oil in the system performs the dual func-
tion of the power transmission and lubrication. Using
the correct fluid is essential to proper system operation.
Refer to the Lubrication Charts for the recommended
hydraulic oil to be used.
Check the reservoir level when troubleshooting lifting
problems. Low oil levels will make it appear that a prob-
lem exists with the battery or hydraulic system.
CLEANLINESS
Adhere to the following precautionary steps to ensure
that the hydraulic system remains clean.
1. Flush the entire system when a failure is encoun-
tered to make sure all paint, metal chips, welding
shot, and debris are removed.
2. Filter each change of oil to prevent the introduction
of contaminants into the system.
3. Provide continuous protection from airborne con-
tamination by keeping the breather clean and ser-
viceable.
