PTO Maintenance
Oil and Filter Change
Oil Fill
Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20
A dry or fully drained system may require as much as
6.5 gallons (25 liters) of oil to charge the cooler, pump,
motor, hoses, filter and valve, and leave 5.5 gallons
(21 liters) in the reservoir.
Before adding oil, check that the drain plug is secure,
and that there are no signs of leaks in hoses or at any
system fittings.
Oil Specification
10W-30 good quality mineral base hydraulic fluid,
viscosity 70 to 250 SUS at 210
°F (100°C).
Remove the filler cap . Add oil until the oil level in the
tank, as observed on the sight gauge , reaches the fill
line on the decal (the horizontal mid-border of the decal).
The fill line is:
9.15 inches (23.2 cm)
above the tank bottom. If the 858-003C decal requires
replacement, adjust the center border line to this height.
Operate the PTO system briefly, or until the tank level
stops changing. See “PTO Operation” on page 8 for
operations.
Recheck the sight gauge. As necessary, add oil to fill
line.
Oil and Filter Change
At a regularly scheduled oil change, also change the
filter. At initial system flush, no filter change is required.
Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20
1.
Wait for the oil to cool before changing the oil.
2. Place a container under the drain plug of the
reservoir, with at least a capacity of:
7 gallons (26 liters)
3. Carefully remove the drain plug.
4. Allow several minutes for oil in the filter to drain into
and out of the reservoir. Change filter as required.
See page 23 for filter size. Seat filter per
instructions on filter.
5. Thread the plug back into the tank. Seating torque
is 27 to 43 foot-pounds (37 to 58 N-m).

Hot Surface and Hot Fluid Hazards:
Assess the tank temperature before adjusting oil level.
Draining excess hot oil could result in a severe burn. If the
PTO has been operated recently, the oil temperature could be
as high as 180
°F (82°C).
