Maintenance & Repair (Continued)
5. Hydraulic oil & filter change:
Each self-contained HBHR and HBHS unit is equipped with a filter condition indicator gauge. This gauge
should be monitored and when the indicator gauge is no longer in the green the filter element should be
replaced. In the event that water is present in the hydraulic oil the system should be completely drained, lines
flushed, and oil replaced. Brave recommends an oil change every 100 hours of operation. Add 10 wt. AW32,
ASLE H-150, or ISO 32 oil to the top of gauge located on side of tank. See filter change instructions insert
(separate from owner’s manual). Magnetic drain plug can be found on the bottom of the hydraulic tank.
WARNING
Never run the Hydraulic Power Pack unless the hydraulic oil level is at the top of gauge located on side of tank.
