Hydraulic system Maintenance
– Perform a hydraulic filter and fluid change, in line with the engine service interval schedule. The
system should be warm
BUT NOT HOT
when changing the hydraulic fluids to aid in draining .
•
Drain the hydraulic oil from the system via the bolt at the base of cyclonic reservoir.
•
Remove the hydraulic filter and replace. Take care when unscrewing the filter as the unit and lines
will be full of oil.
•
Replace the filter with a new one of the same model and tighten per manufacturer’s specifications.
Winterization
Winterizing is required especially for climates likely to freeze. Freezing is mainly a problem for items
containing water.
•
The engine and hydraulics do not need to be winterized, however, it is recommended that the fuel
in the fuel tank be stabilized for extended periods of storage.
•
Follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions for extended storage and winterization.
Battery
The battery should be placed on a battery maintainer / float charger to ensure a full state of charge
throughout the storage period. Failure to maintain a full state of charge will render the battery depleted
/ “Flat” when next required. Float chargers / maintainers are available at most automotive stores or
online retailers.
