5.3.2. Procedure.
IMPORTANT:
• For refilling and greasing, use only lubricants specified in the chart in § 5.2.
• Retrieve the drained oils in order not to pollute the environment.
5.3.2.1. Hydraulic oil filter.
See photo 14.
The filter contains a clogging indicator (1).
Change the cartridge (2) if the clogging light in the
indicator comes on.
1 - unscrew base nut (3) and remove cartridge.
2 - screw on a new cartridge.
NOTE: the clogging check must be done when the
engine is hot; if the engine is cold, the light may come on
due to oil viscosity.

WARNING.
Before disassembly, ensure that the oil circuit is no longer pressurised
and that the oil has cooled sufficiently.
5.3.2.2. Drive-wheel reducing gears.
See photo 15.
Checking and draining require wheel dismounting: to do
this, immobilise the machine and lift using a jack or
hoist.
• Level check:
− turn the wheel so that one plug (1) is on a
horizontal line and one plug (2) on a vertical line.
− unscrew the plug (1) and check the level: this
must be level with the hole. Top up if necessary.
− Screw plug back on.
• Draining:
− With wheel in same position, unscrew the two
plugs and let the oil pour out.
− Refill as described above.
− Screw plugs back on.

WARNING.
Ensure that the machine is adequately secured,
and that the lifting gear is of ample capacity and in good order.
