CHANGE HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER

Change Interval: Ever y 250 Hours
Filter Part Number: 1719168

NOTE: Removing the oil filter from the filter base will

drain the oil reservoir. Have a suitable container

ready to catch any spilled oil. Ferr is recommends this

gasket makes contact, then tighten 3/4 of a turn
more.
5. Run the unit for several minutes and check the
transmission oil level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Use caution after changing the

filter ; air in the hydraulic system may affect the

responsiveness of the control levers. Repeat step 5

until the air is out of the system.
