CHANGE
HYDRAULIC
OIL
&
CLEAN
STRAINER (See Fig. 37)
The
hydraulic oil is contained in the Reservoir (and the
Hoses and other components
of
the hydraulic system).
The Reservoir is built into the Right Chassis Riser and
a Drain Plug is provided in the bottom
of
the Riser.
Refer to the Lubrication chapter for recommended oil
types and viscosity information.
BE
SURE
to replace
and secure the Drain Plug before installing new oil.
The
Hydraulic
Oil
Strainer
is
located
inside
the
Hydraulic Reservoir.
The
hydraulic oil
MUST
be
drained to a level below the Access
Cover
(with
built-in Oil Level Indicator)
before
attempting to
service the Strainer. Access for Strainer removal is
gained by unlatching and opening the hinged Rear
Grill and raising the Engine Cover. To remove and
clean the Strainer, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the Access Cover from the inside Right
Riser wall.
2.
Reaching in through the Access Cover hole, unscrew
and remove the Strainer.
3.
Use a filter cleaner solution (mixed according to the
cleaner manufacturer's specifications) and soak the
Strainer for about
15
to 30 minutes.
4.
After the Strainer has been soaked, thoroughly rinse
off all residue and solution with clean water from a
faucet or garden hose. Then, use clean, dry, com-
pressed air with a pressure
of
less than 30 PSIG (210
kPa) to blow the Strainer dry.
5.
Once the Strainer is thoroughly dry, reinstall the
Strainer in the reverse order
of
disassembly.
6.
Replenish Reservoir with hydraulic oil.

AWARNING
Do NOT remove the Radiator Cap when the
Engine is HOT or overheated; coolant is
extremely
HOT and under pressure and it
can burn your skin. Wait for the Engine to
cool down BEFORE relieving the pressure
and removing the Radiator Cap. Also, Do
NOT
reach
into
the
area
between
the
Radiator and Oil
Cooler
with the Engine
running. The Fan Blade is exposed and
touching it could
cause
serious injury.
FLUSH RADIATOR/REPLACE COOLANT
(See Fig. 37)
To
crain
access to the Radiator, unlatch and open the
b
Rear Grill and open the Engine Cover. Open the Drain
Valve (petcock) at the bottom
of
the Radiator to drain
the coolant. An additional Drain Valve is provided on
the Engine for draining the Engine block (refer to the
separate Engine manual, for details and location).
Using a hose, flush water through the Radiator. After
the Radiator is flushed, close the Drain Valve(s) and
refill with a
50/50 premixed antifreeze until coolant is
at the top
of
the Radiator. Install the Radiator Cap. Run
the Engine until it is at normal operating temperature,
and then check the Engine Coolant Reservoir and
replenish with coolant, as necessary. Refer to the
Engine manual for coolant recommendations.
CHANGE FUEL FILTERS (Fig. 37)
There are two Fuel Filters which can be accessed by
raising the Liftarms and engaging the Lift Cylinder
Lock, then Rolling the ROPS
back
as described in the
Controls
&
Safety
chapter
of
this
manual.
The
Primary Fuel Filter is located on the inside left Fender.
The Secondary Fuel Filter is located on the right front
of
the Engine. Clamp
off
the fuel line to stop fuel flow
to the Filters
BEFORE
replacing filters. Remove the
through
bolt
and
Filter
Cartridge. Install the new
cartridges, and
check
for leaks.
For
replacement Fuel
Filters, order the following
