Maintenance
2. Remove the left side of the chassis (see “Removing the Side Panels”) to
access the filter.
3. Remove the filter element. Discard the old filter element and any fluid it
contains.
4. Wipe off the bottom seal surface of the filter head.
5. Apply clean hydraulic fluid (Mobil 525 SHC) to the seal on the new filter
element.
6. Screw on the new filter element and tighten it (hand-tight) only.
7. Turn the power switch to the On position.
8. Check for fluid leaks around the top of the filter element. If leaking, the
element may be tightened one additional quarter turn (you may need to use a
strap wrench).
Grip Supply Transport or Storage Preparation
If the hydraulic grip supply is to be disconnected from the grips, be sure to put
caps on the four -4 JIC fittings on the rear of the unit.
If the hydraulic grip supply will not be in use for an extended time period,
remove the breather on the reservoir and replace it with a 1/2 inch NPT plug.
This will help prevent contamination of the hydraulic fluid.
Install two screws removed in the procedure “Removing the Side Panels.” These
screws are only needed for transport services.
