10.6.2 Hydraulic Oil Filter
NOTE
Change hydraulic oil filter after the first
50 hours of operation, and every 250
hours thereafter. Part #151975 can be
obtained from your MacDon Dealer.
To change hydraulic oil filter, proceed as follows:
CAUTION
Stop engine, and remove key from ignition
before leaving Operator's seat for any reason.
A child or even a pet could engage an idling
machine.
a. Remove five screws (A), and remove panel (B).
b. Clean around filter head (C).
c. Remove spin-off filter (D), and clean gasket
surface of filter head.
d. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket on new
filter.
e. Turn filter onto the mount until gasket contacts
filter head. Tighten filter an additional ½ to ¾ turn
by hand.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a filter wrench to install filter.
Over-tightening can damage gasket
and filter.
f. Re-install panel (B) with screws (A).
10.6.3 Hoses and Lines
Check hydraulic hoses and lines daily for signs of
leaks.
WARNING
 Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid
can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Relieve pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure.
Keep hands and body away from pin-
holes and nozzles which eject fluids
under high pressure.
 If ANY fluid is
injected into the
skin, it must be
surgically removed
within a few hours
by a doctor familiar
with this type of
injury or gangrene
may result.
 Use a piece of
cardboard or paper
to search for leaks.
IMPORTANT
Keep hydraulic coupler tips and
connectors clean. Dust, dirt, water and
foreign material are the major causes of
hydraulic system damage.
DO NOT attempt to service hydraulic
system in the field. Precision fits require
WHITE ROOM CARE during overhaul.
