can become clogged or, over time, can deteriorate. If the breather cap is faulty or
improperly installed, impurities can enter the hydraulic system which may cause
component damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require that the cap be inspected
more often.
1. Remove and discard the hydraulic tank breather cap.
2. Install a new cap onto the tank.

Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is essential for good machine performance
and service life. Dirty oil may cause the machine to perform poorly and continued use
may cause component damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changes to
be performed more often.
Before replacing the hydraulic oil, the oil may be tested by an oil distributor for specific
levels of contamination to verify that changing the oil is necessary.
Hydraulic oil should be tested yearly and replaced if it fails. If the hydraulic oil is not
replaced at the Annual Inspection, test the oil quarterly. Replace the oil when it fails the
test.
NOTE: Perform this procedure with the platform in the stowed position.
