WARNING
Checking Hydraulic Oil Level
The loader has a sight gauge located at the
back wall of the skid-steer loader engine
compartment (Figure 36). Check the fluid
level with the lift arm lowered and the
attachment on the ground.
Add hydraulic oil as required. Refer to the
Lubrication chart (page 55). Replace the
fill cap.
Changing Hydraulic Oil Filter
To check the hydraulic filter element, run
the engine at full throttle and normal
operating temperature. Lift the engine
access cover. Observe the hydraulic filter
indicator located on the filter head
(Figure 37). The indicator is located in a
transparent cover on the left side of the
filter head. If a red plunger is exposed the
filter needs to be changed.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the reservoir drain plug located
behind right rear tire.
3. Drain the oil to a level below the point
where the filter attaches to the reser-
voir.
4. Replace the reservoir drain plug.
5. Spin off the old hydraulic filter ele-
ment and spin on the new filter element.
6. Refill the hydraulic oil reservoir with oil. Refer to the Lubrication chart
(page 55).
