2. Useanapprovedhydraulicfluid.ApprovedfluidsincludeShell
Tellus®$2 M32 HydraulicFluid,Dexron®III/Mercon®automatic
transmissionfluid, Pro-SelectTM AW-32HydraulicOilor 10WAW-
ISOviscositygrade32 hydraulicoil.
NOTE:Itisnotrecommendedthathydraulicfluidsbe mixed.
3. Alwaysensurethatthefilterisin place.Cleanor replacethefilter

13. Splitthewoodalongthegrain(lengthwise)only.
Never:
1. Usewhenfluidisbelow200For above1500E
2. Usea solidengine/pumpcoupling.
3. Operatethroughreliefvalveformorethan5 seconds.Ifthe
