human skin or never be wasted in the environment. Always abide
by any relevant laws.
The central tank can be filled with 250 lt of hydraulic oil. During the
change make sure that no oil leaking occurs on the machine. If it does,
then clean carefully the area where the oil has leaked, thus avoiding
dangerous situations for the person responsible for the maintenance, the
operators of the machine and the environment.
The first oil filter must be replaced after 500 hours of operation,
whereas next filters must be replaced every 1500 hours of
operation.
During filter replacement, make sure that no oil leaking will occur on
machine. In such a case, the oil-leaked area shall be cleaned carefully,
thus avoiding dangerous conditions concerning operators of machine as
well as staff responsible for its maintenance.
Change of the external filter: Close the oil-sluice valve. Unscrew the old
filter and screw in the new one. The type of filter is : FBO-Ca 160/6 or
another similar to this that there is in market.
Change of scavenge filter: Open the hatch. Remove the old scavenge
filter and install the new one. The one of the filter is: 3/4" – F -10-80/6-
C-CR 100/6 or another similar to this that there is in market.
COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
Always check regularly the correct operation of the compressed-air

circuit.
Before the repairs or maintenance of the pneumatic circuit make

sure that it has no pressure.
