SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Daily
1. Check hydraulic oil level. Make sure that the oil level on
the sight glass is above the lower limit indicated. Add oil as
needed.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
Oil Tank volume: 10 liter (2.6 gal)
Oil Type: ISO 46 (see page 8)
Hydraulic Filter (large):
510 02 33-01 25 Micron lter
Hydraulic Filter (small):
542 16 64-49 25 Micron lter
NOTICE: Never use automotive type oil lters.
They do not have the required ow capacity and can burst
during operation.
Replacement Frequency:
Both Filters - After 1st 50 hours,
then every 100 hours
Hydraulic Oil - Every 100 hours
or once a year
2. Check for any leaks or kinks on the hydraulic hoses or any
other leaks at couplers and ttings.
3 Check oil cooler for any debris and dirt buildup. Remove
debris with air pressure or spraying with a garden hose. Do
not use a high pressure washer directly on the cooler.
WATER CONTAMINATION
In humid climates the hydraulic system can collect large
amounts of water condensation in the oil tank. This happens
due to the humid air in the tank changing from getting hot and
cold. Small amounts of water condensation will not be
noticeable. If large amounts of water are present, the oil will
“foam” or turn “white”. The power pack and other hydraulic
tools should not be operated with water contaminated oil.
If water contamination occurs you should replace the oil and
lters. In some cases it is feasible to remove the water
contamination out of the oil. The hydraulic hoses should also
be emptied.
Procedure for removing the water:
1. Install the hoses and connect the ends together.
2. Start the engine and turn on the ow selector to the
40 liters (10 gal)
3. Let the engine operate for 5 minutes at this ow
setting.
4. Turn of the engine and drain the oil tank in an
appropriate container. Preferably – remove the quick
couplers on the hoses and drain oil into a container.
5. The water in the contaminated oil will settle at the
bottom of the container in approximately 24 hours.
The oil will now appear “normal”.
6. Carefully pour the clean oil back into the tank –
leaving the water in the container.
7. REPLACE the oil lters.
REPLACING OIL AND FILTER
Remove the 4 screws as indicated below. This will enable full
access to the large oil lter.
ALWAYS REPLACE
both lters and oil
every 100 hours

TROUBLESHOOTING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
To adequately diagnose and troubleshoot any problems relat-
ed to the hydraulic system it is necessary to have a hydraulic
tester consisting of a ow meter and pressure gauge. Never
readjust the pressure relief valve without the proper hydraulic
diagnostic tool.
CONTACT a local Husqvarna dealer or Husqvarna
Construction Products for diagnostic help.
