1. Review the Operator's Manual for the Wood
Processor.
2. Move controls to neutral or off position, stop
engine, remove ignition key and wait for all
moving parts to stop before servicing, re-
pairing or maintaining.
3. Allow the machine to cool before changing
the oil. Hot oil can cause burns if it contacts
exposed skin. It is best to change oil while
the machine is warm to keep the contami-
nants in suspension.

Wood Processor from moving while working
under the machine.

11. Fill the reservoir with 26 L of Dexron III hydr-
raulic oil.
12. Run the machine for 1-2 minutes while op-
erating cylinder and check filter head for oil
leaks.
13.
If leaks are found around the filter, tighten
slightly. Repeat step 9.

as required.
