Hydraulic Oil and Filter
Fluid Level
With the platform fully lowered and boom fully
retracted, check oil level on sight gauge. If the oil is
NOT in operating range, add hydraulic fluid until oil is
visible in operating range on dipstick or visible in
sight gauge. DO NOT fill above operating range or
when the platform is elevated.
Oil and Filter Replacement
1. Operate the platform for 10-15 minutes to bring
the hydraulic oil up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
2. Provide a suitable container to catch the drained
oil.
3. Remove the drain plug and allow all oil to drain
into the container. Be sure to dispose of oil prop-
erly.
4. Reinstall the drain plug.
5. Remove filter element from filter head (located
beside valve block).
6. Apply a thin film of clean hydraulic fluid to the
gasket of the replacement filter.
7. Thread replacement filter onto the filter head until
the gasket makes contact then rotate 3/4 of a turn
further.
8. Fill the hydraulic oil tank to operating level on
sight gauge with hydraulic fluid.
