Relocating the Hydraulic Tank
for Model Year 2001 and Before
Important
If you are relocating the hydraulic tank on a
2002 unit, turn to the Relocating the Hydraulic Tank for
Model Year 2002 section on page 7.
The hydraulic tank is moved from the right side to the left
side (Fig. 3). Once the tank is moved, the hydraulic lines
are rerouted to accommodate the new tank location.
