NOTE - The fluid in the hydraulic system and
the filter must both be replaced at least once a
year at the very minimum. Never exceed this
interval.
MULTI-PURPOSE GREASE
The following fluids are recommended:
1. API Grade 1
2. Any high quality Lithium based grease
that has extreme pressure properties, is
water resistant and is recommended for
use in automotive and heavy-duty ap-
plications.
3. Base Oil Timken 40 rating mini-
mum.
FILTERS
Refer to your Kalmar Parts Manual for the
required part numbers. Remember, your
parts manual is custom built to match your
specific vehicle. If you are in doubt of the
correct part numbers, contact your Kalmar
dealer for help.
The preventative maintenance form (see
page 45) for the recommended MAXI-
MUM filter replacement intervals. These
intervals are the absolute maximum allow-
able under normal conditions. Intervals for
your vehicle may be shorter due to actual
vehicle operating conditions. Operat-
ing a vehicle in harsh conditions, or for
extended periods of heavy use will make
more frequent filter changes necessary.
CAUTION - Never exceed
the maximum time inter-
vals. Doing so may lead to
vehicle damage and void
the vehicle and component war-
ranties.
ENGINE OIL
All Kalmar tractors come with an Engine
Operator’s Manual provided by the en-
gine manufacturer. This manual is for the
specific engine in your vehicle. Refer to
this Engine Operator’s Manual for engine
oil requirements.
CAUTION - Kalmar Indus-
tries Corp. requires that
the operator of any Kalmar
tractor comply with the
engine manufacturer’s engine oil re-
quirements. Failure to comply with
the engine manufacturer’s require-
ments for engine oil may void the
warranty on the engine and cause
severe engine damage. Contact
your Kalmar dealer if you did not
receive and Engine Operator’s
Manual with your new Kalmar.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID
Proper fluid level can be checked using
the gauge found on the outside of the
hydraulic tank. Add fluid to keep it level
with the “Full Cold” line. The level should
be checked after moving the boom to the
down position with the engine running.
Three systems requiring hydraulic fluid
operate out of a single, high capacity
reservoir located on the frame rail. The
three systems are:
1. Boom Lift
2. Power Steering
3. Cab Tilt
DEXTRON III should be used whenever
replenishing or replacing the fluid.
