When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine oil. When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use high grade molybdenum disulfide grease. For daily use, the machine must be lubricated twice weekly. Wipe away excess grease after lubrication. It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. If this happens, clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning, it must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum products must not be used to clean belts. Qualified Hydraulic Oils If Parker™ HT-1000 oil is used continually, the oil and filters must be changed every 750 hours. If a premium grade synthetic engine oil with a minimum viscosity grade of 15W40 is used, then the oil and filters must be changed every 250 hours after the initial 750 hour oil and filter change. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal lubrication and remove excess lubricant so that is does not come into contact with belts or belt pulley drive surfaces. WARNING! Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately. If Castrol™ Syntec 5W-50, Amsoil AW ISO 68, or Shell™ TTF-SB oils are used, the oil and filters must be changed every 500 hours after the initial 750 hour oil and filter change. 28
