ART “G”
CHANGING OIL IN THE BEARING HUB
NOTES:
It is recommended that an oil pump is used for the removal of the old oil from the bearing hub.
The proper oil level is approximately 2” from the top of the plug hole on the bearing hub housing. Be careful
not to overfill.
1. Set the Brush Cutter flat on the ground. Turn the skid loader engine off to disconnect the hydraulic hoses
from the loader. Then, safely disconnect the Brush Cutter from the loader.
2. Remove one of the plugs on the top of the bearing hub.
3. Insert the oil extraction hose into the bearing hub and remove all the oil from the bearing hub. Place the
used oil in an appropriate waste oil container for proper disposal.
4. After the used oil has been removed from the bearing hub, refill it to the proper level. The bearing hub oil
capacity is approximately 2.50 US quarts of a GL-5, 80-90W gear lubricant.
5. Reinstall the plug.
PART “H”
REMOVING HYDRAULIC HOSES
Safety Note: There may be pressure in the hydraulic lines. Wear safety glasses and gloves when performing
this operation.
1. Set the Brush Cutter flat on the ground. Turn the skid loader engine off to disconnect the hydraulic hoses
from the loader. Then, safely disconnect the Brush Cutter from the loader.
2. Remove the motor cover.
3. Remove the hose holders restraining the hoses to the bulkhead weldment.
4. Connect the (2) quick-connect ends of the hoses together. Place the attached quick-connect ends of the
hoses lower than the motor. This will reduce the amount of oil leakage during removal.
5. Lay rags over the hose fittings, then slowly unscrew the hose ends from the T-fitting connected to the
manifold.
6. Drain the hoses into a receptacle for proper disposal of oil
