Retract the arm and bucket cylinders completely, rest the bucket teeth on the ground and, after stopping
the engine, eliminate the residual pressures from the equipment (by shifting the controls more than
once) and from the tank (by slowly loosening the filler cap).

Soon after the machine has been stopped, the hydraulic oil is very hot and may cause burns; let it cool
down to 40÷45° C before carrying out this maintenance operation.

Immediately clean any area dirty with oil.

Oils, filters, the coolant and the battery are considered special waste and must be collected and dis-
posed of according to the regulations in force.

oil type HEES, this must be changed after the first 500
hours of operation and successively every 2000 hours, and
in any case at least once a year.
