FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL TANK BREATHER
Fig. 5.46. Fuel Tank Breather Fig. 5.47. Fuel Tank Drain Plug
The breather (Fig. 5.46) is located on the right side of the fuel tank, close to the engine crankcase.
Access is possible upon opening the engine side panels. Clean the breather with a suitable solvent
and dry with compressed air.
DRAINING WATER
Remove the drain plug (Fig. 5.47) located on the front wall of the tank in its lowest point. Wait until
clean fuel starts to flow. Reinstall the drain plug. Drain fuel to a clean container. Allow water and
sediment to collect on the bottom of the container and refill the clean fuel collected above the
sediment and water.
5.14. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
GENERAL
Before removing any components from the hydraulic reservoir, clean the top surface of the
reservoir and the components to be dismantled with a commercial cleaning solvent.
WARNING! Before servicing the machine, be sure the engine is off, the bucket
is lowered, the transmission shift lever is locked in neutral (N), the parking
brake is applied, the electrical system disconnect switch is off, and the key is
removed.
WARNING! This machine has a pressurized hydraulic reservoir. Loosen the filler
cap slowly to relieve the pressure before disassembly of any hydraulic system
component. Do not overfill.
WARNING! Always lock the frame halves together with the frame locking bar and
pins before performing service near the machine's articulation pivot.
5.14.1. CHECKING THE RESERVOIR OIL LEVEL
1. Park the machine on level ground. Lower the bucket to the ground.
2. Stop the engine and apply the parking brake.
3. Check the oil level sight gauge. If the ball is not floating in the window, fluid must be added.
