CHANGE
Put the lift truck on level ground, the I.C. engine stopped and the mast lowered as far as
possible.
Before any intervention, thoroughly clean the area surrounding the drain plug and the suction cover on
the hydraulic tank.
DRAINING THE OIL
- Lift up the overhead guard or the cab (see : 2 - DESCRIPTION :
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Place a container under drain plug 1 (fig. E4/1) and unscrew the plug.
- Remove filler cap 2 (fig. E4/2) in order to ensure that the oil is drained properly and get
rid of it.
Dispose the drain oil in an ecological manner.
CLEANING THE STRAINER
- Disconnect the clogging indicator 3 (fig. E4/3).
- Disconnect the hoses 4 (fig. E4/3) at the level of the hydraulic return oil filter 5 (fig.
E4/3).
- Unscrew the four screws 6 (fig. E4/3) and remove the complete filter 5 (fig. E4/3).
- Unscrew the suction strainer at the bottom of the tank, clean it with the help of a compressed
air jet, check its condition and change it, if necessary (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE : FILTERS
CARTRIDGES AND BELTS).
- Reassemble the strainer, the filter and re-connect the hoses and the clogging indicator.
FILLING UP THE OIL
- Clean and refit drain plug 1 (fig. E4/1) (tightening torque 29 to 39 N.m).
- Fill up with oil (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE : LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) by filler port 7 (fig.
E4/2).
Use a clean container and funnel and clean the underside of the oil drum before filling.
- Observe the oil level on dipstick 8 (fig. E4/4) ; the oil level should be at the level of the
red point.
- Check for any possible leaks at the drain plug.
- Replace filler plug 2 (fig. E4/2) with a new filler plug (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE : FILTERS
CARTRIDGES AND BELTS).
POLLUTION ABATEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
- Let the I.C. engine run (accelerator pedal at halfway travel) for 5 minutes without using
anything on the lift truck, then for 5 more minutes while using completely the hydraulic
movements (except the steering system).
- Accelerate the engine at full speed for 1 minute, then activate the steering system.
- This operation makes a pollution abatement of the circuit possible through the hydraulic
return oil filter.
