NewB Q: Squirted some fluid, refill ?

[PaulR]

OTT first! then manual and google:

BX23S
kinked/bent a loose newly installed grapple line. Squirted me right in the face. Lost about 6 oz of fluid overall fixing and re-tightening.
1) Should I be worried?
2) How where and what to refill with?
3) It will bleed itself right? It seems to have.
(as you can see I'm a hydraulic newB)

First and foremost are you OK, hydraulic fluid can cause harm if it gets inside you. Check your owners manual or the correct workshop manual on where to fill and how to check the level. It should vent itself. Good luck

After using the sweeper all day with RGP contact lenses, there is more to my eye story than just this, but that's another thread.

So, I checked the fill stick on the back of the tractor to the right of the rear PTO, still full.
Kubota Super UDT-2 is the stuff I use I guess. I'm thinking of keeping a gallon in stock for the inevitable.
