Hydraulic Oil

Use only 5W-50 or 15W-50 all synthetic oil.

Checking Hydraulic Oil Level

c

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Check oil level in reservoir tank when oil is cold.

Do not overfill oil reservoir tank. Oil will expand during operation and could overflow.

1. Park machine safely. (Refer to Parking Safely in SAFETY section.)

MX20114

2.Clean area around reservoir dipstick cap (A).

3.Remove dipstick cap (A). Wipe dipstick clean.

NOTE: Do not tighten dipstick cap when checking oil level.

4.Insert dipstick into reservoir filler neck (B). Do not tighten cap.

5.Remove dipstick. Check oil level on dipstick. Oil level should be in crosshatch area between ADD and FULL marks.

•If oil is low, add oil to bring oil level no higher than FULL mark on dipstick.

•If oil is above FULL mark, drain oil to proper level.

6.Insert dipstick. Tighten cap.

Changing Hydraulic Oil and Filter

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.

Use caution when filling and draining hydraulic oil. During periods of machine operation the hydraulic oil reservoir can get hot. Allow engine and oil reservoir to cool before servicing.

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Contamination of hydraulic fluid could cause transmission damage or failure. Do not open oil reservoir cap unless absolutely necessary.

Severe or unusual conditions may require a more frequent service interval.

1.Park machine safely. (Refer to Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2.Allow engine and hydraulic oil reservoir to cool.

MX13362

3.Clean area around reservoir dipstick cap and oil filter.

4.Turn metal cap (A) on bottom of hydraulic reservoir counterclockwise to remove.

5.Allow hydraulic oil to drain into a drain pan with a capacity of at least 3.8L (1.0 gal).

6.Turn oil filter (B) counterclockwise to remove.

7.Apply a film of clean hydraulic oil to gasket of new filter.

8.Install new filter. Turn filter clockwise until gasket makes contact with mounting surface. Tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn after gasket contact.

9.Remove dipstick cap from hydraulic reservoir filler neck.
