Changing the Hydraulic Fluid
Change the hydraulic fluid:

After every 400 operating hours.
1. Position machine on a level surface, lower the
loader arms, stop the engine, and remove key
from ignition switch.
IMPORTANT: Do not substitute automotive
oil or severe hydraulic system damage may
result.
2. Place a large drain pan under the machine that
can hold at least 17 gal. (67 l).
3. Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the
hydraulic tank and allow the fluid to completely
drain out.
4. Install the drain plug.

Check Hydraulic Lines
After every 100 operating hours, check hydraulic
lines and hoses for leaks, loose fittings, kinked lines,
loose mounting supports, wear, weather and chemical
deterioration. Replace all moving hydraulic hoses
every 1500 hours or 2 years, which ever come first.
Make necessary repairs before operating.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
