May 26, 2025
To change the hydraulic filter and fluid on a Textron Turfcat 600 Series 628D:
1. Drain the hydraulic oil from the tank by removing the drain plug. 2. Replace the hydraulic oil filter. 3. Reinstall the drain plug. 4. Fill the hydraulic tank with recommended hydraulic oil (Jacobsen 10W30 or GreensCare 68 for biodegradable use). The tank holds 6.8 U.S. gallons (25.7 liters). 5. Connect the recovery tank hose to the radiator filler neck. 6. Connect the air cleaner intake hose to the bulkhead. 7. Start the engine and check for component operation and hydraulic leaks. 8. Inspect the oil for contamination (water, air, or debris) and replace components or oil if needed. Always use clean oil and a clean system.

Questions and answers
Changing hydraulic filter and fluid 628D
To change the hydraulic filter and fluid on a Textron Turfcat 600 Series 628D:
1. Drain the hydraulic oil from the tank by removing the drain plug.
2. Replace the hydraulic oil filter.
3. Reinstall the drain plug.
4. Fill the hydraulic tank with recommended hydraulic oil (Jacobsen 10W30 or GreensCare 68 for biodegradable use). The tank holds 6.8 U.S. gallons (25.7 liters).
5. Connect the recovery tank hose to the radiator filler neck.
6. Connect the air cleaner intake hose to the bulkhead.
7. Start the engine and check for component operation and hydraulic leaks.
8. Inspect the oil for contamination (water, air, or debris) and replace components or oil if needed. Always use clean oil and a clean system.
