DETAILED MAINTENANCE
REPLACING HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC
FILTER ELEMENT:
Ensure system has been shut down and de-
pressurized. Locate High Pressure Filter housing.
Confirm that the element to be installed matches
the element p/n on the filter model tag.
Example:
V3.0510-06 (world line 100, HD049 model) Locate
the bottom of the High Pressure Bowl. Using the
appropriate spanner wrench or ratchet, turn in a
counterclockwise rotation, (looking at the bottom of
the bowl) to remove the bowl from the head. The
first couple rotations will seem tight as the o-ring
passes the sealing flats. Once the o-ring has
cleared the sealing flats the bowl should spin freely.
Taking care not to drop the bowl, finish removing the bowl from the head.
WARNING: bowl will be full of oil!
Pour the oil from the bowl into a container. This oil should be considered contaminated because the flow
through the element is outside-in. Clean the inside of the bowl if dirt is present. Remove the old element from
the filter head by pulling with a rotation motion. Dispose of the used element properly. Using your finger, dab
and lubricate the o-ring in the top of the new element with oil. Install the new element onto the mounting boss
within the head. Ensure that the element is fully seated on the boss. Clean and inspect the o-ring that is affixed
in the bowl and lubricate with oil. Using a clockwise rotation, screw the bowl back into the head, ensuring that
the bowl has not been cross-threaded into the head. Continue to tighten the bowl into the head, using the
spanner wrench or ratchet. The rotation of the bowl will become tighter once the o-ring engages the sealing
flats. Once the bowl has bottomed out, back-off the bowl by 1/6 turn. This ensures that the o-ring is seated
properly within the sealing flats. Element change out and re-assembly is now complete. Start the machine and
inspect the filter area checking that there is no oil leaking from the filter assembly.Replace the filter element
first at 50 hours of operation, then yearly (500 hours) or when indicated by restriction indicator.
GREASING CUTTERSHAFT - FLAIL MOWERS
Locate grease zerks on each end of cuttershaft(s), these are located on the bearing cover. Normal conditions
require one or two pumps in each bearing, using Lithium-Complex Extreme Pressure grease conforming to
NLGI2-ISO 320 specifications. This is to be done with a standard grease gun daily or at
8 hour intervals.
CAUTION: Over greasing may cause premature seal failure.
