Excessore heat in the hydraulic's high-pressure side is dispersed by the Drum cooler pack, but after six months of prolonged use the oil is ready for a change. Drain the oil in the cooler system and check its colour and constituency. "Usually it's turned dark brown and smells of roast almonds,' says Ingham, "which means it has been working very hard." Change the fitter in the top of the unit and check the cap's seal, washer and valve spring. Add 16 litres of oil, but watch the sight gauge level—it should be about three-quarters of the way up the glass.
