What’s the hydraulic fluid spec for a CAT E4000? Thanks
AW32 will be fine unless you are using in freezer (food storage). For freezer applications use aircraft hydraulic fluid.
How do I check the hydro fluid level. When the mast is half way up the pump cabarets.
Where do I check the transmission fluid on this VC60D
