HOW TO CLEAN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1.
Put a drop cloth on the floor.
2.
Drive the machine on to the drop cloth.
3.
Set the parking brake.
4.
Open the engine cover.
5.
Put a container under the reservoir drain to catch the reservoir fluid.
6.
Remove the drain plug. The reservoir fluid will drain. Do not use the drained reservoir fluid to refill the
hydraulic reservoir. Dispose of the used fluid.
HOW TO CLEAN THE HYDRAULIC SUCTION STRAINER
The suction strainer is the filter assembly located in the bottom of the hydraulic reservoir and can be removed
from the outside of the reservoir.
7.
Turn the suction strainer counterclockwise by hand.
8.
Remove the suction strainer from the reservoir.
9.
Use a compressed air line on the inside of the strainer to blow impurities out of the filter media. If a com
pressed air line is unavailable, use new FORD type “F” Automotive Transmission Fluid to flush the
impurities out of the filter media.
10. Flush the interior of the hydraulic reservoir with clean fluid.
11. Put the cleaned strainer in the hydraulic reservoir.
12. Rotate the strainer clockwise into the bottom of the hydraulic reservoir. Stop rotating the strainer when it
is hand tight.
13. Put the reservoir plug, removed in step six, back in the hydraulic tank drain and tighten.
14. Open the breather filler cap.
15 Fill the reservoir with new FORD type “F” automotive transmission fluid. The capacity of the tank is 6
gallons or 22.8 liters.
16. Close the breather filler cap.

HOW TO REPLACE THE RETURN FILTER ELEMENT
1.
Check the visual indicator on the top of the filter
assembly daily. When the indicator reads 40 PSI
replace the return filter element immediately. This
should be after 250 hours of machine run time.
2.
Unscrew the filter element from the filter
assembly and discard.
3.
Moisten the filter gasket of a new filter
element (Service Part Number 8-24-04018) with
hydraulic fluid.
