CHANGE OIL IN HYDRAULIC TANK, REPLACE HYDRAULIC FILTER ELEMENT 4
WARNING
q The parts and oil are at high temperature after the engine is stopped, and may cause burns. Wait for
the temperature to go down before starting the work.
q When removing the oil filler cap, turn it slowly to release the internal pressure, then remove it.
q Refill capacity: 89 liters (25.51 US gal)
1. Lower the bucket horizontally to the ground and apply the parking brake, then stop the engine.
2. Remove covers (1) and (2).
3. Keep grip (3) pulled, then turn oil filler cap (F) counter-
clockwise and remove it.
4. Set a container to catch the oil under drain plug (P).
5. After removing drain plug (P), open drain valve (4) and
drain the oil.
6. After draining the oil, close drain valve (4) and install drain
plug (P).
7. Using a filter wrench, turn cartridge (5) to the left to remove

If the engine is run immediately at high speed or the cylinder is operated to the end of its stroke, the air
inside the cylinder will cause damage to the piston packing.
12. Next, operate the steering, bucket, and lift arm cylinders to the end of their stroke 3 to 4 times, then stop the
engine and loosen fillercap to bleed the air from the hydraulic tank.
