HYDRAULICS
63
• 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.
• Drain and replace the hydraulic oil every
500 hours of operation or 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. There is a temp sensor in
the bottom of the oil cooler and if the oil
temperature rises to 140° or higher the fan
comes on to cool the oil. The fan may go on
and off as the temperature of the oil changes
depending on the environment and the
chipper operation.
• 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.
