1. Remove the drain plug and drain oil. Replace the
drain plug.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT discharge oil onto ground.
Catch and dispose of per local waste disposal
regulations.
2. Remove and discard the oil filter. Wipe the seal-
ing surface on the transmission with a clean cloth.
Apply a thin coat of clean oil to the new oil filter
gasket. Spin tighten.
3. Refill the transmission with new oil as shown in
the Lubrication chapter of this manual. The trans-
mission can be filled through an alternate location
which can be accessed from under the engine
cover as shown or from under the center cover on
the frame.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! lf the oil level
is too high, oil foaming, excessively high oil tem-
perature and oil leakage at the seals could result.
4. Start and run the machine long enough for the oil
to circulate and warm slightly. Recheck the level
with the dipstick.
CHANGING RADIATOR COOLANT
Drain, flush and refill the cooling system as follows:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT discharge coolant onto
ground. Catch and dispose of per local waste dis-
posal regulations.
1. Loosen the radiator cap to its stop. This will
release any system pressure. Remove the cap
when all pressure is bled off.
2. Open the radiator drain cock. Remove the water
jacket drain plug from the engine block. When all
coolant is drained, flush the system with clean
fresh water. Allow the flush to drain completely.
3. Replace all drain plugs and tighten the radiator
drain cock. Clean the cooling fins in the radiator
with water pressure or steam.
IMPORTANT: Fill the cooling system with a low-
silicate ethylene glycol based coolant mixed with
quality water and supplemental coolant additives
(SCAs) suitable for heavy-duty diesel engines.
See the engine manual for additional information.
4. Inspect the radiator cap seal before re-installing it.
Replace it if it appears to be damaged. The 16 psi
(110 kPa) pressure cap and engine thermostat
work in conjunction with each other to maintain
proper engine cooling.
NOTE: Check the engine temperature lamp every
minute or two after coolant has been changed. Air
pockets can form, and it may be necessary to refill
the cooling system after a short period of use, as
the air naturally bleeds out of the system.
CHANGING HYDRAULIC RETURN FILTER
The hydraulic return filter
element is a cartridge-type
accessible from under-
neath the chassis. Initial
replacement is after the
first 100 hours. Unscrew
the filter cover and
remove. Slide off the old
element and discard.
Insert the new element
onto the housing and
replace the cover.
IMPORTANT: The hydraulic return filter is
equipped with a restriction sensor. If the dash
indicator light comes on, the element should be
replaced.
WARNING
Lower the boom to the ground when servicing
the hydraulic system.
WARNING
Remove the radiator cap only when the engine
is cool, or painful burns could result.
