Fuel Tank

Draining The Fuel Tank
POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Drain gasoline from the fuel tank when the
engine is cold. Do this outdoors in an open
area. Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
Never drain gasoline near an open flame or
where gasoline fumes may be ignited by a
spark.
Never smoke while handling fuel.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, to ensure
that fuel tank drains completely. Then lower the
loader arms and turn the ignition key to "OFF"
to stop the engine. Remove the key.
2. Shut off the fuel valve on the bottom of the fuel
tank.
3. Loosen the hose clamp at the fuel filter and slide
it up the fuel line away from the fuel filter.
4. Pull the fuel line off fuel filter, open the fuel
valve, and allow gasoline to drain into a gas can
or drain pan.
Note: Now is the best time to install a new
fuel filter because the fuel tank is
empty.
5. Install the fuel line onto the fuel filter. Slide the
hose clamp close to the fuel filter to secure the
fuel line.
6. Open the fuel valve on the bottom of the fuel
tank.

Hydraulic System

Replacing the Hydraulic Filter
Change the hydraulic filter:
After the first 8 operating hours.
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 filter or severe hydraulic system damage
may result.
2. Place drain pan under filter, remove the old filter
and wipe the filter adapter gasket surface clean.
3. Apply a thin coat hydro fluid to the rubber
gasket on the replacement filter (Fig. 17).
4. Install replacement hydraulic filter onto the filter
adapter. Tighten clockwise until the rubber
gasket contacts the filter adapter, then tighten the
filter an additional 1/2 turn (Fig. 17).
5. Clean up any spilled fluid.
6. Start engine and let run for about two minutes to
purge air from the system. Stop the engine and
check for leaks.
7. Check fluid level in hydraulic tank and add to
raise level to mark on dipstick. DO NOT OVER
FILL.
