3. Remove the drain plug and allow oil to flow into a drain
pan. After the oil has drained, install the oil drain plug.
4. Remove the dipstick/filler cap and add approximately
40 ounces of Mobil DTE Extra Heavy oil or equivalent
oil (refer to Fluid Recommendations, page 10) to the
pump case. Install the filler cap.
5. Check the oil level. If the fluid level is low, add enough
Mobil DTE Extra Heavy oil or equivalent to bring the
oil up to the proper level. Do not overfill.
6. Check for possible leaks. Lower the hood and secure
the latches.
Checking the Hydraulic Lines
and Hoses
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for leaks, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather
deterioration, and chemical deterioration. Make all
necessary repairs before operating.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
the hydraulic system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Get immediate medical help if fluid is injected
into skin.
Warning
Adjusting the Traction Pump
Belt
Make sure that the traction pump belt is properly tensioned
to ensure correct operation of the unit and unnecessary
wear. Check the belt midway in the span of the belt.
1. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
2. Check the belt tension by depressing the belt midway
between the pulleys with 3 lb. of force. The belt should
deflect 9/64 in. (Fig. 31).
