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. |
- While the engine is stopped, disconnect drain hose (1) from connector (2).
- Remove connector (2) and seal (3) from the pump housing.
- Fill the main pumps with oil.
- Inspect seal (3). If the seal is damaged, replace the seal.
- Install seal (3) and connector (2) at the pump housing.
- Connect drain hose (1) to connector (2). Tighten drain hose (1) to the specified torque.
