Hydraulic oil
The hydraulic oil level can be checked by removing the filler cap. The correct
amount of oil is in the tank when the tip of the level rod has hydraulic oil on it. This
check must be carried out on a level surface.
The hydraulic oil can be topped up by adding oil to the filler as shown below. Take
care not to spill hydraulic fluid over any of the surrounding machine components.
The hydraulic oil can be drained by removing the tank. Remove the bolts as shown
above and separate the tank from the pump body. The hydraulic fluid can then be
correctly disposed of.
Reassembly is the reverse of above.
The hydraulic oil recommended for use with this
POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO is: mineral
basis hydraulic oil with lubricating, antifoaming, anti-corrosive, antioxidant HL-
HLP (ISO and UNI HM)-HV-HLPD performances according to DIN51524 part 1-2
