8. Recheck the fluid level while the fluid is warm. 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
9. Install the cap on the filler neck.
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
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours—Change the
hydraulic filter.
Every 200 hours—Change the hydraulic filter.
WARNING
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 the hydraulic reservoir cap and temporarily
cover the opening with a plastic bag and rubber band
to prevent all of the hydraulic fluid from draining out.
4. Locate the filter under the fuel tank and place a drain
pan under the filter
(Figure

5. Remove the old filter and wipe the filter adapter gasket
surface clean
6. Apply a thin coat hydraulic fluid to the rubber gasket
on the replacement filter.
7. Install the replacement hydraulic filter onto the filter
adapter.
Note: Do not tighten.
8. Remove the plastic bag from the reservoir opening and
allow the 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

10. Clean up any spilled fluid.
11. Check the fluid in the reservoir, add fluid to the tank
until it reaches the cold baffle of the tank.
Important: Use oil specified or equivalent. Other
fluids could cause system damage.
12. Start the engine and let it run for about 2 minutes to
purge the air from the system.
