    I have an Atlas 640 Mini Digger and I think the wrong oil was put into it because it is jumping. I want to drain the oil, does anybody know how to drain the oil. Also, does anyone know how I can get the workshop/maintenance manual for this digger?

    Many Thanks
    Mick

    Are you sure you have the correct name for the digger?

    When you say wrong oil, i assume you mean hydraulic oil and not engine oil.

    The wrong engine oil wouldn't make it jump around, but to heavy an oil in the hydraulics would cause it to jitter.

    Maybe not enough hydraulic oil in the holding tank.
    If the machines on a slope then the pump will catch air and be very jumpy. Can also be harmful to certain makes of pumps.
