Start By:
- Remove the refrigerant condenser. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Refrigerant Condenser - Remove".
- Release the hydraulic system pressure. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release".
Note: Put identification marks on all hose assemblies, fittings and ports so that all the components can be reassembled in the original configuration. Plug all of the hose assemblies and cap all of the fittings. This helps to prevent fluid loss and this helps to keep contaminants from entering the system.

Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil. Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system. Make sure all of the work tools have been lowered to the ground, and the oil is cool before removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. |
