Hydraulic System
WARNING
• Place the speed control lever at Neutral and
turn off the engine prior to servicing hydraulic
components.
• Lower the saw completely to relieve some
hydraulic fluid pressure prior to servicing the
saw.
• Always use a piece of cardboard or
paper to check for hydraulic fluid
leaks. Keep all body parts away
from leaks and/or areas that may
eject hydraulic fluid. Pressurized hydraulic fluid
can penetrate the skin, causing serious
injuries. Seek medical attention immediately!
Regularly inspect the hydraulic hoses and fittings for
leaks and replace as necessary.
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
Check the hydraulic fluid daily and add fluid as
necessary. DO NOT drain the hydraulic fluid.
1. Lower the saw so it is level.
2. Remove the cap from the electro/hydraulic pump
unit.
Figure 18: Electro/Hydraulic Pump Unit
3. Add Mobil DTE 15M oil to just below the cap
opening.
4. Replace the cap.
Belt System
WARNING
• Turn off the engine prior to servicing
the belts.
CAUTION
• Let the belts cool down prior to servicing them.
Inspect the belts daily for fraying, stress cracks, and/or
breakage and replace immediately when damaged. DO
NOT exceed the manufacturer’s belt tension settings
when tensioning belts. Note: Over-tensioning the belts
may damage the power take-off (PTO). Under-
tensioning the belts may cause slippage, shorter belt life
and/or poor saw performance. Squealing belts indicate
looseness.
Tensioning or Replacing the Blade Drive Belts
Figure 19: Blade Drive Belts
1. Test the belt tension. Refer to Appendix C for
additional information and belt tension settings. If
adjustments are necessary, continue with step 2.
2. Loosen the four engine adjustment screws (two on
the PTO side and two on the fan side). If tensioning
the belts, proceed with steps 6–8. If replacing the
belts, continue with steps 3–8.
