Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Draining the hydraulic fluid reservoir if your shop is equipped with a filter cart

Pump the fluid into a clean container

Draining the hydraulic fluid reservoir if your shop is not equipped with a filter cart

Remove the drain plug and drain fluid

Clean the drain plug and remove any remaining Teflon® tape from the threads

Apply Teflon tape to the clean threads prior to reinstalling the plug and filling the reservoir

Fill the reservoir with the specified, fresh fluid. Make sure the fluid level is at the appropriate operating level

IMPORTANT: A change in the performance of the hydraulic system can indicate a fluid change is required, or a filter or system restriction. Use only the recommended fluid, failure to do so can jeopardize your safety, the fluid’s life and can lead to premature equipment failure.

Hydraulic System Fluid and Filter Element: Change the hydraulic fluid and filter after first 100 hours and every six months/1000 hours thereafter. Change fluid more often under severe conditions.

Recommended Hydraulic System Fluid

Filter: Minimum Filter Rating for Hydraulic System: Beta 10=2 with 28” vacuum capability. ISO 18/13 cleanliness must be maintained.

Fill until fluid level is visible in the sight gauge. Normal level is the center of the sight gauge.

A reputable supplier can help you make the best selection of hydraulic fluid for the Eaton products used in the TEREX MIXER. The filter system used in the hydraulic circuit should be capable of cleaning and maintaining the fluid to meet ISO Cleanliness Code 18/13 per SAE J1165. This code allows a maximum of 2500 particles per milliliter greater than 5 µm and a maximum of 80 particles per milliliter greater than 15 µm.

At normal operating temperatures, optimum viscosity ranges from 80-180 SUS (16-39 cSt). Viscosity should never fall below 60 SUS (10 cSt) and, at the lowest expected startup temperature, should not exceed 10,000 SUS (2158 cSt).

Fluid Requirements: The fluid should be chemically stable, incorporating rust and oxidation inhibitors. Specific types of fluid that meet these requirements: Premium quality, industrial anti-wear type hydraulic fluid, Engine crankcase oil - SAE 10W, SAE 20W-20, SAE 30, Automatic transmission oil, Hydraulic transmission oil, Synthetic fire-resistant fluid - Quintolubric, Cosmolubric, or equivalent.

If the natural color of the fluid has become black or milky, it is possible an overheating or water contamination problem exists.

Check the windshield washer fluid daily before operating the vehicle.

Remove the cap from reservoir and add washer fluid till the level is at the full mark on the reservoir.

Install the cap on the reservoir after it is filled.

Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement

The windshield wiper blades should be inspected every 6,000 miles (4,828 km) and replaced when worn.;

⚠ DANGER: Explosion from battery gasses will cause death or serious injury. DO NOT smoke or expose battery gases to open flame or sparks. Always wear protective clothing and/or gear around batteries. Batteries when charging produce sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns.

Battery terminals are securely tightened

Battery terminals are secured to prevent movement

Battery box is securely mounted

Battery box shows no signs of damage

NOTICE: If the battery cables are removed, always disconnect the main ground terminal first. When reconnecting, always connect the main ground terminal last. If other ground cables are connected to the battery, ECU or other components, disconnect those ground cables first and then remove the main battery ground cable to prevent damage to the electronic components or system.

Warning: Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.

Refer to the table on the back wall inside the cab for the correct tire pressures for your vehicle.

Enter the air pressure in the front left tire

Enter the air pressure in the front right tire

Enter the air pressure in the rear left tire

Enter the air pressure in the rear right tire

All tires within the recommended pressure range?

Sign off on the tire pressure check
