Daily care

Hydraulic fluid should show about halfway up the sight glass; top up with AW/ISO 68 hydraulic oil (AW/ISO 46 below 32°F). Replace the hydraulic filter after the first 50 hours on a new machine, then every 200 hours, adding one quart of hydraulic fluid with each filter change. The free-wheeling hubs let you move it without starting the engine.
