CAUTION
DO NOT exceed OIL LEVEL of hydraulic oil. If the level
is higher, oil will burst out from the breather plug.
4.9 Hydraulic Oil
4.9.1 To refill or replace the hydraulic oil, start with the handle
in vertical position, remove the plug cap with a 17mm wrench at
the top.
4.9.2 Drain the hydraulic oil.
4.9.3 Once the oil has been drained, add 300cc of hydraulic oil.
4.9.4 Remove the air releasing plug from the vibrator cylinder. As you do so, oil will start
coming out of the air releasing plug. Wait until the air bubbles cease, then reattach and
tighten the plug securely.
4.9.5 Before attaching the breather plug, ensure that the hydraulic oil in the pump is at the
appropriate oil level.
4.10 Tightening the V-Belt
4.10.1 To examine the V-Belt, detach the bolts that fasten the
belt cover to the frame.
4.10.2 Visually inspect the V-Belt for signs of cracks, fraying,
missing rubber, peeling, or any other damage. Check if the
belt appears oil soaked or has a glazed appearance (hard and
shiny on the sides). These conditions can cause the belt to
overheat, weaken, and increase the risk of breakage. If any of
these wear conditions are present, promptly replace the
V-Belt.
4.10.3 The V-belt tension is correct if, when pressed with a
finger at the midpoint between the clutch and vibrator
pulleys, it bends approximately 10 to 15 mm.
