The FRESH filter must be installed facing in the correct direction.
When installing, insert the long (L) end of filter (3) into the filter case
first.  If the short (S) end is installed first, cover (2) will not close.

REPLACE BREATHER ELEMENT IN HYDRAULIC TANK

 WARNING

The parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped, and may cause burns. Wait for the
temperature to go down before starting the work.
When removing the oil filler cap, turn it slowly to release the internal pressure, then remove it.

 1. Remove the cap of oil filler (F) at the top of the hydraulic tank.
