with grade of oil recommended below:
Above 40 °F. (13 °C.) - S.A.E. 30
Below 40 °F. (13 °C.) - S.A.E. 20
aDDing HyDrauliC oil
1. Check the hydraulic oil level in the hydraulic oil tank,
by reading the hydraulic oil sight glass mounted on the
hydraulic oil tank.
2. If the hydraulic oil level is low, fill to the proper level
with MOBIL 300, GM DEXTRON B, FORD M2C-33F,
FORD M2C41A hydraulic oil or equivalent.
3. To gain access to the hydraulic oil filler hole (Figure

(vertical). Start the engine as outlined in the starting
procedure, then place the tub in the dumping position.
Figure 24. Hydraulic Oil Tank Filler Cap
4. Use the tub support rod to support the tub, then turn the
engine OFF. Remove the hydraulic oil filler cap, and add
hydraulic oil as required. Fill to the normal operating
mark as indicated on the hydraulic oil sight gauge.
NOTICE
In climates where temperatures are below 35°F, hard
starting may occur. In these cases, the hydraulic oil
should be switched to a thinner 15 weight hydraulic fluid.
5. Replace hydraulic oil after every 200 hours of operation.
The hydraulic oil filter should be changed each time
the hydraulic oil is changed.
HyDrauliC Drive motors
The hydraulic drive motors are extremely reliable and will
not need maintenance or repair under normal conditions.
Should any problems develop with the hydraulic drive
motors, contact Multiquip's service department.
BraKe aDjustment
Brake adjustment can be made on the brake linkage rod
located on the right-side of the buggy.
1. Place the parking brake lever in the engaged position.
The parking brake should be adjusted so that the buggy
will not move.
2. Adjustment is provided by a knob at the end of
the parking brake lever. To tighten, turn the knob
counterclockwise.
3. Adjust the knob sufficiently tight so that when the
parking brake lever is actuated, considerable pressure
is required to place it in the over center or ON position.
4. With the parking brake engaged, the buggy should not
move when the engine is started and the travel lever
pushed forward.
