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.
Replacing the Hydraulic Filter
Change the hydraulic filter:
After the first 8 operating hours.
After every 200 operating hours.
Use summer filter above 32 F (0 C)
Use winter filter below 32 F (0 C)

8. When fluid overflows filter turn the oil filter clockwise
until the rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter, then
tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn (Fig. 45).

10. If there is no fluid, add fluid to reservoir
approximately a 1/4 (6mm) below the top of baffle.

air from the system. Stop the engine and check for
leaks. If one or both wheels will not drive, refer
