Maintaining Hydraulic Oil Cooler Efficiency
Your machine is equipped with a hydraulic oil
cooler, it is integrated with the radiator and
utilizes exhausted radiator air from the engine
fan to cool the hydraulic fluid. To maintain its
efficiency, periodically blow out the radiator &
oil cooler fins with compressed air. 100 p.s.i. is
maximum
Changing The Hydraulic Fluid
1. Turn off the engine and engage the parking
brake.
2. Place a drain pan on the floor below the
reservoir.
3. Remove the drain plug located on the bottom
rear of the reservoir and allow the fluid to
drain.
4. Discard the fluid in an approved manner, then
replace and retighten the drain plug.
5. Remove the filler / breather cap located on
top of the reservoir and fill the reservoir with
approved hydraulic fluid.
NOTE: Ten (10) gallons (US) of fluid are
required.
6. Install the filler cap assembly.
7. Check the drain plug for leakage.
Changing The Hydraulic Fluid Filter
1. Turn off the engine and engage the parking
brake.
2. Unscrew the oil filter cartridge from the mount
and discard in an approved manner.
3. Apply a thin coating of fluid to the seal of a
new filter element.
4. Thread onto the mount and hand tighten.
5. Tighten an additional one-half turn beyond
hand tight.
NOTE: Do not over tighten.
6. Start the machine, shut it off, then check for
leakage.
