9. Install the hood; refer to Installing the Hood, page 25.
10. Remove and store the cylinder locks (refer to Using
the Cylinder Locks, page 20) and lower the loader
arms.
Checking Hydraulic Lines
After every 25 operating hours, check the hydraulic lines
and hoses for leaks, loose fittings, kinked lines, loose
mounting supports, wear, weather, and chemical
deterioration. Replace all moving hydraulic hoses every
1500 hours or 2 years, which ever comes first. Make
necessary repairs before operating.
Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within a
few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks,
never use your hands.

Replacing the Fuel Filter

Replace the fuel filter yearly. Never install a dirty filter.
1. Lower the loader arms and stop the engine. Remove
the key.

3. Clamp the fuel line between the fuel tanks and the fuel
filter to block the fuel flow.
4. Squeeze the ends of the hose clamps together and slide
them away from the filter (Fig. 31).
5. Place a drain pan under the fuel lines to catch any
leaks, then remove the filter from the fuel lines.
6. Install a new filter and move the hose clamps close to
the filter.
7. Remove the clamp blocking fuel flow and open the
fuel valves.

Draining the Fuel Tanks

Danger
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you and others
and can damage property.
Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open area.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
Never smoke when draining gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where a spark may
ignite the gasoline fumes.
1. Park the traction unit on a level surface, to ensure that
the fuel tanks drain completely.
2. Lower the loader arms and stop the engine. Remove
the key.
3. Shut off the fuel valve as follows:
If you have a Dingo 322, turn the valve at the
bottom of each fuel tank as illustrated in Figure 32.
