SUBJECT: A LEVEL SWITCH (HYDRAULIC OIL) CAN BE ADDED TO THE HYDRAULIC TANK.
PROBLEM: The implement pump may fail because the machine is run without hydraulic oil. A hydraulic delimber attachment may allow the hydraulic tank to drain without the operator becoming aware of the situation.
SOLUTION: A level switch (hydraulic oil) can be added to the hydraulic tank and wired parallel to the sender (engine oil pressure). The level switch will activate both the action light and the action alarm. The operator will have to determine if the engine oil pressure is low or the hydraulic oil level is low.
Use the following instructions for installing a level switch (hydraulic oil).
