Before filling tank with gasoline, let engine cool. Gas vapors can ignite and
an explosion can occur.
Fill gasoline engine and check engine and hydraulic oil levels. Checking the hydraulic fluid level is
easy thanks to a sight glass on the hydraulic reservoir. The sight glass is located on the front of the
reservoir. Maintain the hydraulic fluid within 1/2 (1.25 cm) inch of the upper (solid black) line on the
glass. Remove the threaded plug from the filler neck to add fluid. ALWAYS CHECK HYDRAULIC
FLUID LEVEL WHEN FLUID IS COLD. DO NOT OVERFILL. See Maintenance section for
specifications on oil type and quantity. Checking the hydraulic fluid level on the GS1000 is easy
thanks to a sight glass on the hydraulic reservoir. The sight glass is located on the front of the
reservoir which is in turn located on the right side (as viewed from the front) of the machine (Fig. 3.1).
Maintain the hydraulic fluid within 1/2 inch of the upper (solid black) line on the glass. Remove the
threaded plug from the filler neck (Fig 3.1) to add fluid.
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a piece of paper or card-board, NOT
BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic and high-
pressure wash systems.
• If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Flush and fill tanks with tap water; clean any foreign matter out of tank using ball valve clean-out. Set
ball valve to open position, allowing water to flow to pumps.
