7.5 HYDRAULIC FLUID CHANGING
WARNING: The hydraulic fluid and motors can become very hot. Risk of scalding.
WARNING: Do not allow hydraulic oil under pressure, for example at a leak, to penetrate
the skin. Medical aid is required if such an injury occurs.
- Carry out this operation with forks in the lowered position and with the mast reached in.
- Open the motor cover.
- Remove the breather/filler cap.
- Empty reservoir using a suitable handpump.
- Replenish the tank to the correct level with clean oil, and prime the pumps by pouring oil into the outlet
hose when disconnected from the tank fine filter (1)
NOTE: The tank has two level marks labeled 184 and 187. These labels refer to the mast
type fitted on the truck. The mast type can be determined from the mast serial number which is
stamped on the mast.
CAUTION: Check correct hydraulic operation after refilling the system.
CAUTION: The hydraulic pump operates by suction due to the outlet flow from the tank
being located higher than the pump. It will be necessary to prime the pump by filling the
suction hose with hydraulic oil prior to running. Failure to do this will cause the pump to
run dry and result in premature pump failure.
