Changing/Draining Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the traction unit so that the drain side is
slightly lower than the opposite side to ensure
that the oil drains completely.
3. Lower the loader arms, chock the wheels, stop
the engine, and remove the key.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Components will be hot if the traction unit
has been running.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Touching hot components can cause burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Allow the traction unit to cool before
performing maintenance or any touching
components.
4. Place one end of a hose on the drain valve and
the other end in a pan. Open the drain valve by
turning it counter–clockwise, pulling out as you
turn it (Fig. 17).
5. When oil has drained completely, close the drain
valve and remove the hose.
Note: Dispose of the used oil at a certified
recycling center.
