CHANGE
Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped, the mast tilted
backwards and lowered as far as possible.
Before any intervention, thoroughly clean the area surrounding the drain plug and
the suction cover on the hydraulic tank.
DRAINING THE OIL
- Place a container under drain plug 1 (Fig. E4/1) and unscrew the plug.
- Open the I.C. engine bonnet.
- Remove filler cap 2 (Fig. E4/2) in order to ensure that the oil is drained properly and
get rid of it.
Dispose the drain oil in an ecological manner.
CLEANING THE STRAINER
- Disassemble the side panel 3 (Fig. E4/3) (3 fastening screws).
- Disconnect the hose 4 (Fig. E4/4).
- Remove the hydraulic return oil filter 5 (Fig. E4/4).
- Unscrew and clean the strainer using a compressed air jet, check its condition and
replace if necessary (See chapter : FILTERS CARTRIDGES AND BELTS in paragraph
: 3 - MAINTENANCE).
- Refit the strainer and tighten the hydraulic return oil filter 5 (Fig. E4/4) (Tightening
torque 81 N.m).
- Connect the hose 4 (Fig. E4/4).
- Reassemble the side panel 3 (Fig. E4/3).
FILLING UP THE OIL
- Clean and refit drain plug 1 (Fig. E4/1) (Tightening torque 29 to 39 N.m).
- Fill up with oil (See chapter : LUBRICANTS AND FUEL in paragraph : 3 -
MAINTENANCE) by filler port 6 (Fig. E4/2).
Use a clean container and funnel and clean the underside of the oil drum before
filling.
- Observe the oil level on dipstick 7 (Fig. E4/5), the oil should be equidistant between the
lower and the upper marks.
- Check for any possible leaks at the drain plug.
- Replace a new filler plug 2 (Fig. E4/2) (See chapter : FILTERS CARTRIDGES AND
BELTS in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE).
POLLUTION ABATEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
- Let the engine run (Accelerator pedal at halfway travel) for 5 minutes without using
anything on the lift truck, then for 5 more minutes while using completely the hydraulic
movements (Except the steering system).
- Accelerate the engine at full speed for 1 minute, then activate the steering system.
- This operation makes a pollution abatement of the circuit possible through the
hydraulic return oil filter.
