Maintenance
Hydraulic Oil - Drain
1. Clean the pump, motor, cylinders, hydraulic lines, fittings,
and tank.
2. Place the machine on level ground.
3. Place a container on the ground below the hydraulic
drain plug (5)
4. Remove the breather cap (3) to allow airflow to assist in
draining. Place in a container and allow the oil to drain
into the container.
5. Loosen the hose fittings on the cylinders, and drain as
much fluid as feasible.
6. Replace and tighten the fittings.
Re-fill the hydraulic oil tank
1. Clean all surrounding debris and dirt off of the tank fill
opening area. (Hydraulic fluid must be kept completely
clean!)
2. Remove the breather/fill cap (3).
3. Fill the tank until oil the level reaches the appropriate
level as shown on the oil level gauge (4).
4. Replace the breather/fill cap.
Hydraulic Oil Filter
(Spin On)
- Change
A spin on filter (7) is used on this machine as well as the
three in-line filters. The spin on filter is located on the left
hand side of the machine behind the screen.
1. Place a pan below the filter to catch dripping oil.
2. Using a filter wrench, unscrew the filter from the filter
head.
3. Apply a light coat of hydraulic oil to the gasket of the
new filter.
4. Screw the new filter onto the filter head until hand tight.
5. Tighten further with the filter wrench.
6. Dispose of the used filter and lost oil, in accordance
with local safety and environmental protection laws.
If the filter head ever needs to be replaced, be sure that the
direction of flow, indicated by the arrow on the filter head, is
pointing away from the oil reservoir.
Always keep the hydraulic oil clean.
Hydraulic Oil Filter
(In-Line)
- Change
The three in-line filters are accessed through the right
hand cooler door. The filters are serviceable, and can be
cleaned. If the housing or O-rings have damage or wear
contact a Rayco dealer or Rayco for replacement parts.
Remove the filter from the machine and cap lines to
prevent contamination. To disassemble the filter, a vise
and a 1 1/2’’ inch wrench is needed.
• Place the complete filter in a vise using the flat sides
of the filter housing (E) to prevent rotation of the filter
housing when removing the cap(A). Note: Do not
overtighten the vise and damage the housing.
• Using the wrench, loosen the cap (A) and remove the
components noting the placement of the springs (B
and D).
• Clean all components including the filter (C) using
brake parts cleaner and inspect O-rings for damage (F).
• Reassemble the filter and install in the machine.
