Checking The Oil Level; Periodic Maintenance; Changing The Hydraulic's Oil - Garland CHOPPER 406 VE Manuel De L'utilisateur

7.1.4. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the dipstick from the oil with a cloth.
- Insert the rod and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left
by oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum, add a little more
oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum, you will have
to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt
the lawnmower and let out a little oil (put a
container at the end of the tube to prevent oil
spilling on the machine or the ground).

7.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Perform regular inspections of the machine in order
to ensure effective operation of the machine. For a
complete maintenance service, we recommend you to
take the lawnmower to your service technician.

7.2.2. CHANGING THE HYDRAULIC'S OIL

WARNING! You must not throw old oil
in a pipeline network or on the Earth.
The contamination of groundwater and
water tables is subject to heavy fines. There are
special collection places at service stations. If not,
any municipal authority will give you the relevant
information.
Change the hydraulic oil after every 150 hours of use.
Perform the following steps to change the oil:
1. Make sure that all moving parts of the machine are
stopped and that it is unplugged.
2. Place a container with a capacity to store the oil
used in the bandsaw (4,5 liters) next to the drain
screw.
3. Unscrew the screw (1) oil drain and wait until all of
the oil from the inside has been.
4. Push the blade until it reaches the bottom to
ensure that all the oil comes out.
5. Screw on the drain (1) screw.
6. Unscrew the filler cap (9) and refill with 4,5 liters of
new hydraulic oil.
7. Clean the oil screw rod and place it in the oil tank
to check the oil level.
8. Be sure that the oil has enough level so the rod is
spotted with oil between the two marks.
Periodically check the oil level and make sure that it is
between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is below
the lowest you should oil-filled.
For a correct operation of your bandsaw with hydraulic
transmission system use an oil hydraulic device with
properties anti-wear, anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion,
high viscosity, low freezing point and good anti-foam
and viscosity ISO HM46 grade.
