Fluid Maintenance
The hydraulic fluid is an important component of each Bettis Gas/Hydraulic operator system. An
aviation grade hydraulic fluid is used unless Customer specified otherwise. Contact the factory for
suitable gas/hydraulic system compatible hydraulic fluids.
1.
Do not add automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, methanol or any other solvent to the
hydraulic fluid as it can damage the seals of some internal components. Flush the system
with recommended fluid only.
2.
Operators/systems that cycle more than 2-3 times per week (unit suction/discharge,
pig launcher, receiver block valves) should have the hydraulic fluid changed annually.
