Clean Hydraulic Fluid Strainers
The hydraulic fluid strainers are located
under the vehicle, on the side of the hydraulic
fluid reservoir. The strainers are in line with
the hydraulic fluid lines.
Remove the hydraulic fluid drain plug (1) from
the bottom of the reservoir and drain the fluid
into a suitable container with a capacity of
approximately 30 gallons [113.5 liters]. Install
the drain plug.
Remove the hydraulic fluid lines (1) and (2).
Remove the strainers (3) and (4).
NOTE: Make sure to completely drain the
hydraulic tank before removing hoses or
strainers.
Clean the strainers with diesel fuel and allow
to air dry. Dispose of the fuel properly.
If the strainers cannot be cleaned or have
holes in the screen, replace with new strain-
ers.
Install the small diameter hydraulic fluid
strainer (3), Part Number 840000010. Install
the large diameter hydraulic fluid strainer (4),
Part Number 840000011.
Install the hydraulic lines (1) and (2).
IMPORTANT: Use only Lucas Universal
Hydraulic Fluid for the Apache Sprayer
hydraulic system.

a screen in the fill neck. FIll the reservoir
slowly to reduce the possibility of spilling.
Fill the hydraulic fluid reservoir with Lucas
Universal Hydraulic Fluid. The reservoir
capacity is approximately 30 gallons [113.5
liters].
