Different types of hydraulic fluids have different properties and are specifically designed for different applications and operating conditions. The owner's manual will also inform you about the hydraulic oil type requirements based on the ambient temperature where you are operating your machine. The correct hydraulic fluid helps ensure the proper operation of components like hydraulic pumps, cylinders, and motors.
Using an improper hydraulic fluid might not provide adequate lubrication to these components, lead to wear and tear, reduced hydraulic system efficiency, increased heat generation, compromised sealing effectiveness, and even failure of hydraulic components. Always consult your owner's manual and use the recommended hydraulic fluid to ensure the smooth and trouble-free operation of your Bobcat 773.
