HF scissors lift help
My new mid rise Harbor Freight scissors lift was delivered this week. I spent today searching for the hydraulic fluid specified by the manual, the ISO VG 32. I found it in 5 gallon containers at the NAPA parts house, but since I only require 6.5 quarts I thought it was overkill. I found hydraulic fluid in 2 gallon containers at the local Tractor Supply outlet, but the specifications are not on the label. What are you guys with the scissor lifts doing for fluid? Are you buying the 5 gallon size or substituting another type that is available in smaller quantities? Advice and/or recommendations please.
Thanks, Jim S. |

I use the fluid from tractor supply in my 2 post lift, and I had some ATF I put in my scissorlift. Both have work this way for aover a year with no problems

I have general use hydraulic fluid from Farm and Fleet (similar to your Tractor Sulppy) in my HF lift. WOrks fine. If it was good for my local farmers...it is good enough for my lift
