Note

For optimal efficiency, maintain oil levels at 80% of tank capacity. During initial assembly, additional oil may be needed to fill hoses, valves, and hydraulic cylinders—monitor and top up as required. Before transportation, drain the oil to prevent leaks. For initial decommissioning, 80% oil level is acceptable. Ensure compliance for equipment integrity.

Ensure a label sticker is affixed to the oil tank, clearly indicating the following details:

  • Tank Capacity (e.g., in liters or gallons)
  • Oil Type (e.g., ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil or as per manufacturer specifications)
