1. Clean the filter housing, element and nearby hoses.
2. Remove the used filter element and catch the oil in a clean bucket.
3. Empty the element into the bucket and examine the oil for foam, water and excessive
particles. By checking the oil at every filter change, trends may be observed which
could help in troubleshooting if problems develop.
4. Lubricate the seal on the new element and thread it onto the housing.
5. Tighten the element three-fourths of a turn after the seal contacts housing.
6. Run the engine at low idle and check for leaks.
7. Check the oil level as described on the previous page.
TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE:
Change the transmission fluid on a new machine after the first 20 hours. If the filter is
changed every 200 hours and the indicator light has not been on, change the fluid every
600 hours. If the filter has been changed more frequently because the indicator light has
come on, change the fluid every other filter change. Use the following procedure:
1. Operate the transmission long enough to warm the oil above 100F (40°C).
2. Remove the transmission drain plug and drain the oil. Check for water, foam or
excessive particles in the oil.
3. Change the filter element as described previously.
4. Clean the suction screen.
5. Remove the transmission breather, wash it in clean solvent, blow it dry and re-install.
6. Clean and install the transmission drain plug.
7. Fill the transmission through the dipstick tube with four gallons (15 L) of Mobil ATF
D/M or equivalent.
8. Run the engine at low idle and check for leaks.
9. Check the oil level as described on the previous page.
TRANSMISSION SHIFTER:
The transmission shift lever assembly is an electrical device. There are three fuses under
the dash in the power lines to the shifter, a 5-amp fuse for the back-up alarm circuit, a 5-
amp for the neutral start circuit and a 15-amp for the power shifter circuit. These are 12-
volt, automotive, fast-acting fuses.
Before welding on the crane, disconnect the cable connector under the shifter assembly,
the battery, the rated capacity limiter, and engine control unit.
