HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION
The following describes the basic hydraulic system
operation. Further system description is outlined
under different system circuits such as the hoist cir-
cuit and steering circuit in this section of the manual.
Refer to Section “J” for details regarding the hydrau-
lic brake system.
The hoist, steering and brake circuits share a com-
mon hydraulic tank (1, Figure 2-1). The tank is
located on the left frame rail forward of the rear
wheels.
The service capacity of the tank is 238 gal. (901 l).
Type C-4 hydraulic oil is recommended for use in
the hydraulic system.
NOTE: It is recommended that any hydraulic oil
to be used for filling or adding to the hydraulic
system is routed through a 3 micron filter device
prior to use.
