Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainer may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use may cause component damage

Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changes to be performed more often. For hydraulic oil specifications, Refer to Specifications, Hydraulic Specifications

Note: Before replacing the hydraulic oil, the oil may be tested by an oil distributor for specific levels of contamination to verify that changing the oil is necessary
