WARNING: Hydraulic oil becomes hot during
operation. Severe burns may result if skin comes in
contact with hot hydraulic oil. Wait for the oil to cool
before starting any maintenance work.
Especially when removing the filter, be careful that
the remaining oil in the filter does not spill.
Replacement Procedures
1. Park the machine following the same procedures as
described on page 7-7 for preparation of inspection/
maintenance work.
2. Install articulation stopper (lock bar) to the front
and rear of the chassis by following the procedures
described on page 7-9.
3. Clean the vicinity around cover plate (1).
4. Get a container and workshop towels to hold the
spilled oil and the element. Relieve the air pressure
from the hydraulic oil tank by pressing air bleed valve
(6).
5. Loosen bolts (2) (6 used) to remove cover (1) and
O-ring (3). When removing cover (1), slowly remove
the cover while pressing the cover downward so that
spring (4) does not fly off. Slowly permit cover to rise,
then carefully remove.
6. Remove spring (4), and element (5).
7. Replace element (5) and O-ring (3) with new ones.
Install new element and new O-ring in the hydraulic
oil tank.
8. Install cover (1) with bolts (2) (6 used).
9. After replacing the return filter element, bleed air
from the hydraulic pump and check the oil level in
the hydraulic oil tank. [Refer to the descriptions for
"Bleed air from the hydraulic system" in item 2 .] If the
machine is operated without bleeding the air mixed
in the hydraulic circuit, damage to the hydraulic pump
may result.

NOTE: Replace the element at the regular intervals to
maintain clean hydraulic oil and extend the service life of
the hydraulic components.
