9” CHIPPER SERVICE
HYDRAULICS
61
• Check hydraulic oil level daily. This
Carlton chipper is equipped with a gauge
that shows the level of oil and the
temperature of the oil. When filling the
tank with oil, the window of the gauge
will also fill with oil as the level gets
higher in the tank. Never fill the oil tank
above the BLACK line at the top of the
gauge. Do not run the machine with the
oil level below the RED line at the
bottom of the gauge.
• On a new chipper, change the hydraulic
oil filter when the chipper has been
operating for 10 hours. Replace with the
same type of in-tank filter element
supplied originally, available through
Carlton or Carlton dealers. From this
point on, change the filter every 200
hours of operation.
• Change hydraulic oil every 500 hours of
operation or at least once a year
depending on use. Flush the hydraulic
tank when changing the hydraulic oil.
Replace oil if it has a burnt odor or if it
is contaminated. Replace oil if the
chipper has been stored for a long period
of time (all winter).
• Drain the hydraulic tank using the drain
plug located on the bottom of the tank.
Dispose of used oil according to state
regulations.
HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER
• There is a hydraulic oil cooler on this
Carlton chipper to keep the hydraulic oil
from over heating. When the cooler is
mounted as shown, the engine radiator
fan keeps the oil cool.
• Keep the fins clean. Use a garden hose
and a mild detergent. Do not use a
power washer as it may cause the fins to
bend. Do not use an industrial strength
detergent that may cause the metal to
deteriorate.
