Removal Procedure

Start By:

1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Engage the parking brake. chock the wheels in order to keep the machine from rolling when the drive shaft is removed.

2. Raise the boom and install the boom cylinder lock. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Boom Cylinder Lock - Removal and Installation Procedures".

3. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Battery Disconnect Switch (if equipped)".

4. Release the hydraulic system pressure. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly Manual, "Hydraulic System Pressure - Release".

Show/hide table

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.

Personal injury or death can result from improper lifting or blocking. When a hoist or jack is used to lift any part or component, stand clear of the area. Be sure the hoist or jack has the correct capacity to lift a component. Install blocks or stands before performance of any work under a heavy component. Approximate weights of the components are shown. Clean all surfaces where parts are to be installed.

1. Put identification marks on all lines, hoses, wires and tubes for installation purposes. Plug all lines, hoses and tubes. This helps prevent fluid loss and contamination of the oil system.

2. Drain the hydraulic oil tanks of all the hydraulic oil. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Hydraulic System Oil - Change".
