In order to avoid damage to the hydraulic system:
• Use hydraulic oil and grade according to fluids and lubricants table.
• Always add hydraulic oil using the filling screen.
• Check the hydraulic oil level once a day.
• If the hydraulic oil in the sight glass is cloudy, this indicates that water or air has
penetrated the hydraulic system. Contact a Wacker Neuson service center.

gradable oil of the same type for filling up – observe the sticker on the hydraulic
oil reservoir.
