Changing Hydraulic Oil

As the hydraulic oil tank (A) is located underneath the fuel tank, drain then remove fuel tank first.

Change hydraulic oil as follows:

2. Ensure all cylinders are fully retracted. Apply the parking brake and shut off engine.

CAUTION: Before removing drain plug (B), relieve any pressure in the hydraulic tank by slowly unscrewing tank filler cap.

IMPORTANT: Before removing drain plug (B) ensure a suitable container is placed on the ground to catch the full capacity of oil in the tank. When removing drain plug, be sure to stand to one side to avoid oil which will spill from the hole.

3. Drain the tank by removing plug (B).

4. Remove cover plate (C), discard gasket

5. Remove the suction filter (D) by unscrewing from the suction pipe.

6. Clean and re-fit the suction filter (D) to the suction pipe.

7. Flush out the tank with clean hydraulic oil taking extreme care to remove all dirt and foreign matter.

8. Re-fit cover plate (C) to tank using new gasket and re-fit drain plug (B).

9. Fill the system with correct oil (see Section "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities").
