8. Recheck the fluid level while the fluid is warm. If
required, add fluid to the reservoir until it reaches
the hot level of the baffle.
Note: The fluid level should be to the top of the hot
level of the baffle, when the fluid is warm (Figure 68).
9. Install the cap on the filler neck.
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.
Replacing the Hydraulic Filter
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Every 200 hours
Hot hydraulic fluid can cause severe burns.
Allow the hydraulic fluid to cool before
performing any maintenance to the hydraulic
system.
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
Important: Do not substitute automotive oil
filter or severe hydraulic system damage may
result.
3. Remove hydraulic reservoir cap and temporarily
cover opening with a plastic bag and rubber band to
prevent all hydro fluid from draining out.
4. Locate the filter under the fuel tank and place drain
pan under filter (Figure 69).
5. Remove the old filter and wipe the filter adapter
gasket surface clean (Figure 70).
6. Apply a thin coat hydro fluid to the rubber gasket
on the replacement filter.
7. Install replacement hydraulic filter onto the filter
adapter. Do not tighten.
8. Remove plastic bag from reservoir opening and
allow filter to fill with hydraulic fluid.
9. When the hydraulic filter is full, turn the oil filter
clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts the filter
adapter, then tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn
(Figure 70).
