We use AW/ISO 68 hydraulic fluid in all Barreto equipment. If you are operating your machine below 32°F, then AW/ISO 46 is recommended.
The equipment ships with a full tank of hydraulic oil. Just fill the gas tank, check your engine oil level to make sure it is properly filled, and you’re ready to start.
The hydraulic fluid level should be visible about half way up in the sight glass on the side of the machine. For those older machines that do not have a sight glass, fill the tank to within 3 inches from the top of the tank.
The fill plug takes a 9/16” hex tool to remove.
For new machines, replace the filter after the first 50 hours. Then, every 200 hours thereafter. Also, add one quart of hydraulic fluid to the tank with every filter change.
Luckily, that’s simple – just wave a magnet above the hour display in the upper right-hand corner.
We offer a 1 year Manufacturer’s Warranty that guarantees your product to be free of defects in materials and workmanship. Engines, engine accessories, batteries, and tires are warranted by the original manufacturers and are not covered by the Barreto Equipment Warranty. Honda and Briggs engine options come equipped with a 3-year Engine Manufacturer’s Warranty.
