1. Level the vehicle, ground the attachment, place the

travel select lever in NEUTRAL (N), and engage the
parking brake switch.

2. Fully retract all hydraulic cylinders and shut off the

engine.

3. Unlock and open the engine cover. Allow the hydraulic

oil to cool.

4. Clean around the hydraulic oil filter head (Fig. 2–44).

Loosen, but DO NOT remove, the nuts that secure
the hydraulic oil filter head to the hydraulic oil tank.

5. Place a suitable container under the hydraulic reservoir

drain plug. The container must be large enough to
hold 32 gallons (121,9 liters) of hydraulic oil.

6. To facilitate removal of the hydraulic oil filter head and

filter, the hydraulic oil return line may need to be
swiveled out of the way, and the indicator wiring
unplugged. DO NOT crimp the hydraulic oil return
line or indicator wiring. Rotate and remove the
hydraulic oil filter head; be prepared for a large
amount of oil to be displaced.

Figure 2–44. Clean around the hydraulic oil filter head.

7. Remove the hydraulic oil filter element (Fig. 2–45)

from the hydraulic oil filter head. Dispose of properly.

8. Clean the filter head sealing surface.

Figure 2–45. Replace the hydraulic filter element and add

hydraulic oil as required.

9. Remove the magnetic drain plug and allow the

hydraulic oil to drain into the container. Clean loose
particles from the magnetic drain plug. Transfer the
used hydraulic oil to a container with a cover and
label the container as used hydraulic oil. Dispose of
properly.

10. Reinstall the magnetic drain plug into the hydraulic oil

reservoir.

WARNING: DO NOT change the hydraulic oil
or the hydraulic oil filter with the engine running.
Contact with moving parts can cause serious
