Checking Hydraulic Oil Level
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Check oil level in reser-
voir tank when oil is cold.
Do not overfill oil reservoir tank. Oil will expand during oper-
ation and could overflow.
Park machine safely. (Refer to Parking Safely in
SAFETY section.)

A
Clean area around reservoir dipstick cap (B).
Remove dipstick cap (A). Wipe dipstick clean.
NOTE: Do not tighten dipstick cap when checking oil
level.
Insert dipstick into reservoir filler neck (B). Do not
tighten cap.
Remove dipstick. Check oil level on dipstick. Oil level
should be in crosshatch area between ADD and FULL
marks.
If oil is low, add oil to bring oil level no higher than
FULL mark on dipstick.
If oil is above FULL mark, drain oil to proper level.

Changing Hydraulic Oil and Filter
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Escaping fluid under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or
other lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure. Search for leaks with a
piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body
from high pressure fluids.
Use caution when filling and draining
hydraulic oil. During periods of machine
operation the hydraulic oil reservoir can get
hot. Allow engine and oil reservoir to cool
before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Contamination of hydrau-
lic fluid could cause transmission damage or failure.
Do not open oil reservoir cap unless absolutely neces-
sary.
Severe or unusual conditions may require a more fre-
quent service interval.
Park machine safely. (Refer to Parking Safely in the
SAFETY section.)
Allow engine and hydraulic oil reservoir to cool.
A
Clean area around reservoir dipstick cap and oil filter.
Turn oil filter (A) counterclockwise to remove.
Allow hydraulic oil to drain into a drain pan with a ca-
pacity of at least 3.8L (1.0 gal).
Apply a film of clean hydraulic oil to gasket of new filter.
Install new filter. Turn filter clockwise until gasket
makes contact with mounting surface. Tighten 1/2 to
3/4 turn after gasket contact.
Remove dipstick cap from hydraulic reservoir filler
neck.
