Replace the Hydraulic Tank
Return Filter
Replacement of the hydraulic return filter is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. A dirty or clogged filter may cause the
machine to perform poorly and continued use may
cause component damage. Extremely dirty
conditions may require that the filter be replaced
more often.
Bodily injury hazard. Beware of
hot oil. Contact with hot oil may
cause severe burns.
The hydraulic filter is located at
the hydraulic tank.
1 Clean the area around the hydraulic oil filter.
Remove the filter with an oil filter wrench.
Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to squirt
or spray.
2 Apply a thin layer of fresh oil onto the gasket of
the new oil filter.
3 Install the filter and tighten it securely by hand.
