SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

EVERY 500 HOURS

Loosen and remove the two hose clamps securing the suction hose, 1, to the suction screen port. Remove the suction hose. Unscrew the suction screen, 2, from the top of the hydraulic tank and remove it. Cover the hole in the tank so contaminants cannot enter.

The suction screen can be washed in a cleaning solvent to remove any debris accumulated in it.

Reinstall the suction screen into the top of the tank and tighten securely. Reinstall the suction hose onto the steering pump and suction screen and tighten the hose clamps to ensure that no air can enter the hydraulic system.

OPERATION 42

Clean it out using low pressure air 1.7 bar (25 PSI) or less. Reinstall the hose and replace the breather in its mounting location.
