on the replacement filter.
7. Install the replacement hydraulic filter onto the filter

rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter, then tighten
the filter an additional 3/4 turn.

9. Start the engine and let it run for about two minutes
to purge air from the system.
10. Stop the engine and check for leaks.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid 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.
• Keep your 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.
11. Check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank (refer to
Checking the Hydraulic Fluid in , page ) and add
fluid to raise the level to mark on dipstick. Do not
over fill the tank.
12. Close the rear access cover.
