To change the hydraulic oil and strainer filter:
1. Operate the truck for a period of time long enough for the oil in the system to
become warm. This will help the oil to flow.
2. Stop the truck in a designated service area (ground must be level). Extend the
mast reach to allow access to the left hand side of the hydraulic tank.
3. Lower the mast fully and tilt the mast forward fully.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the ā0ā off position, then remove the key.
5. Ensure the hydraulic tank and oil are cool enough not to cause burns or wear
heat resistant gloves before proceeding.
6. Unscrew and remove the filler cap (A)
and place on a clean dry surface.
7. Position suitable containers for
collecting the used oil on the ground to
the right-hand side of the hydraulic tank.
Use a fluid extractor to transfer the used
oil from the hydraulic tank into the
collection container(s). Remove the
strainer from the filler neck and feed the
suction pipe of the fluid extractor into the
tank through the filler neck until it
reaches the bottom of the tank.
Or
7. Position suitable containers for
collecting the used oil below the oil drain
plug (B). Unscrew the oil drain plug. Use
a funnel with a flexible tube to channel
the used oil into the collection
containers. Allow the system time to
drain completely. Refit the oil drain plug
and tighten (fit a new seal if required).
8. Enter the area between the left-hand and right-hand platforms behind the
mast. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry and take great care to avoid
slipping!
9. Unbolt and remove the access panel (C) from the left hand side of the hydraulic
tank and place on a clean dry surface.
10. Reach inside the tank, unscrew and remove the used strainer filter (D).
11. Extract any remaining oil and clean the bottom of the hydraulic tank through the
opening.
12. Apply a little hydraulic sealant to the thread of a new strainer filter and fit the
new filter securely inside the tank in place of the filter that was just removed.
Use a genuine OEM component.
13. Inspect the tank access panel O-ring seal (E) and replace with a new seal if
necessary.
14. Refit the access panel (C) securely. Remember to fit the O-ring seal correctly.
15. Clear the work area between the platforms, behind the mast of all waste and
tools and exit the area. Take great care to avoid slipping.
