the hydraulic fluid level and

add fluid as necessary to fill the lines.

WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

If hydraulic oil becomes too hot, it can

reach its flash point and cause a fire.

Operating at too high an oil temperature

can also cause faster motor seal wear and leak

age. The recommended hydraulic oil operating

temperature is 80–1

15_F (27–45_

C). If the oil

temperature approaches 130

_F (54_

C), shut of

f the

motor and check the hydraulic oil supply cooling

system, filters, etc. Clean or repair as needed.

Always use Graco-approved Hydraulic Oil or
