..3 CHANGING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL AND FILTER
1. Place all controls in neutral and stop
engine.
2. Allow the machine to cool before chang-
ing the oil. Hot oil can cause burns if
it contacts exposed skin. It is best to
change oil while the machine is warm to
keep the contaminants in suspension.
3. Place a pan under the drain plug.
4. Remove the drain plug and allow the oil
to drain for 10 minutes.
5. Install and tighten the drain plug.
6. Dispose of the used oil in an approved
container.
7. Remove oil filter.
8. Apply a light coat of oil to the
O
ring and
install the replacement filter. Snug up by
hand and then tighten 1/2 turn.
9. Fill the reservoir with the specified oil.
10. Run the machine for 1-2 minutes and
check for oil leaks.
11. If leaks are found around the drain plug
or filter, tighten slightly. Repeat step 8.
12. Check oil level. Top up as required.
