[QUOTE="LGS Enterprises, post: 11834, member: 1200"] Both the hydraulics and the side chain tanks use 10w30 motor oil, the side chain tank require about 3 gallons per side. Your goal is just to keep everything lubed by splashing around. Any more than that tends to overcome the upper tank cover seals and you end up with oil everywhere. Make sure the seals are in good shape, they are pretty inexpensive at the Case dealer. When you change or add a large amount of oil to the hydraulics Case requires you to add their HTO additive to protect the pumps and motors. The red button on the handle on my unit is hooked up to the horn but I guess you could use it for any number of things. The dealer or Ebay is the best bet for the service and operators manual. The parts manual is avaliable online at [URL]http://www.casece.com/index.asp?RL=NAE[/URL] go to parts and services, and then search for parts. It's all there, you just have to look for it. While looking at the Bobcat site they had a operators training link that had many good points. A couple that I remember are the unit pivots off the front wheels when carrying a load and off the back when empty. Never ram the pile with your unit, pull up to it and slowly apply the function or direction you want to go so not to tear up the unit.
