Draining the Hydraulic Tank
Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin it must
be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Gangrene may result if this is not done.
Keep body and hands away from pin hole leaks
or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic
fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
hydraulic system.
1. Position machine on a level surface, disengage the PTO,
move the motion control levers to the neutral locked
position, and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Place a pan under the hydraulic filter. The filter is
located toward the rear, on the underside of the unit
(Fig. 1).
