If you will not be draining the fluid,
disconnect and plug the hydraulic line going to
the filter.

Fill the replacement filter with the appropriate
hydraulic fluid, lubricate the sealing gasket, and

head. Then tighten it 3/4 turn further.

and
Checking the Hydraulic Lines and Hoses
(page

Start the machine and run it at idle for 3 to 5
minutes to circulate the fluid and remove any air
trapped in the system. Shut off the engine and
check the fluid level.
5.
Dispose of the fluid and filter properly.
Checking the Hydraulic
Lines and Hoses
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses daily for
leaks, kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear,
loose fittings, weather deterioration, and chemical
deterioration. Make all necessary repairs before
