Pool of hydraulic oil

Did anyone else receive their titan covered and dripping with hydraulic oil?

It probably just splashed out the vent. I would be worried that your machine had a rough ride from Conroe. Hopefully, it didn’t fall over during transportation unless you find a hose off.

Yes, I had the same issue. All the boxes in the crate below the control box were saturated. I had to remove the lid from the control box and douche out the bottom of the inside with avgas. fortunately none of the electronics had any oil contamination. No apparent leaking since.

Mine also came covered in hydraulic oil. Had to wipe it all out of the bottom of the control box. Haven’t seen a drop since.

Mine did too. I was informed that unless a truly crazy amount got out it should be fine.

Appreciate it all!

Popped open the top to check hoses and to give it a clean. looks like it got on some of the electronics closest, so will give em a good clean before power.

What kind of gaskets are they using for the top of the tank? Is is just a silicone bead? Appears to protrude out in made spots.

Yes mine was the same, The tank has the bolt spacing pretty far apart and the flanges are pretty flimsy. I recommended they beef it up.
And yes I had oil all over everything also, never could tell where it came from. the vent holes were sealed with tape and it was dry on top. Mine has not leaked since, I dont think :grinning:
