Filters and Oil - Change the return filter tank and suction filters after the first 100 hours of operation.  Change
the filters again at 500 hours or every 12 months; then, change the oil and filters at 400 hours.  After that,
continue to change the filter every 500 hours or every 12 months and the oil every 800 hours or every 12
months.  Hydraulic oil to be used is, Chevron 1000 THF or an equivalent.  Speed Increaser uses SAE 90 wt.
Spindle Housing uses NLGI000 Grease (Alamo Group P/N 00765444). Use the above procedures as part of a
good filter maintenance program.

Note: Your ambient temperature and operating conditions may require a different viscosity oil. Please consult
the oil manufacturer for proper specifications. 

Between filter changes, monitor condition of filter by reading pressure gauge mounted on filter on top of the
tank.  If pressure reads 15 psi or greater at 1800 engine speed and normal operating temperature (140 deg. F.
or greater) filter element should be changed.  Pressure gauges are color coded to help indicate when to
change element.

Keep all hoses and adapters tight.  Repair any leaks immediately.  Do not overtighten hose end fittings.
Tighten to specifications only. (See Chart Below)

Check the hydraulic oil level daily.

Check the Blades for cracks and wear and Blade Bolts for tightness, daily.  Blades should be replaced when
they are worn excessively, bent, deformed, or out of balance.

Blades should always be replaced in pairs.  Blades of different weights can cause serious
imbalance and damage to the machine and personnel.  When replacing blades, take care to
replace the blade bolts, nuts, and washers.
