PROCEDURES
B-9
Perform Hydraulic Oil Analysis
Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainer
may cause the machine to perform poorly and
continued use may cause component damage.
Extremely dirty conditions may require oil
changes to be performed more often.
Before replacing the hydraulic oil,
the oil may be tested by an oil
distributor for specific levels of
contamination to verify that
changing the oil is necessary.
If
the hydraulic oil is not replaced
at the two year inspection, test
the oil quarterly. Replace the oil
when it fails the test.
See D-1,
Test or Replace the Hydraulic Oil.
B-10
Replace the Hydraulic Tank
Return Filter
Replacement of the hydraulic tank return filter is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. A dirty or clogged filter may cause the
machine to perform poorly and continued use may
cause component damage. Extremely dirty
conditions may require that the filter be replaced
more often.
Beware of hot oil. Contact with
hot oil may cause severe burns.
The hydraulic filter is mounted on
the function manifold next to the
hydraulic power unit.
1 Clean the area around the oil filter. Remove
the filter with an oil filter wrench.
2 Apply a thin layer of oil to the new oil filter
gasket.
3 Install the new filter and tighten it securely by
hand.
4 Use a permanent ink marker to write the date
and number of hours from the hour meter
(if equipped) on the filter.
5 Turn the key switch to ground control and pull
out the Emergency Stop button to the on
position at both the ground and platform
controls.
6 Activate and hold the platform up toggle
switch.
7 Inspect the filter and related components to
be sure that there are no leaks.
8 Clean up any oil that may have spilled during
the replacement procedure. Properly dispose
of the used filter.
