With the platform fully lowered, check the fluid level through the side of the reservoir. The level should be
between the MAX (maximum) and MIN (minimum) lines.

EPLACEMENT
Drain Hydraulic Fluid
1. Operate the machine for 10-15 minutes to bring
the hydraulic fluid up to normal operating temper-
ature.
2. Completely lower the platform and turn the Chas-
sis Key Switch to the OFF position.
CAUTION
!
!
The hydraulic fluid may be of sufficient temperature
to cause burns. Wear safety gloves and safety
glasses when handling hot fluid.
3. Provide a suitable container to catch the drained fluid. The hydraulic reservoir has a 12,9 liter
(3.4 US gal) capacity.
4. Remove the breather/cap and use a pump to remove all hydraulic fluid.
IMPORTANT: Dispose of hydraulic fluid properly - contact your local recycler.
Filter Replacement
5. Unscrew the filter from the filter assembly (located on the left side of the valve block).
6. Apply a thin film of clean hydraulic fluid to the gasket of the replacement filter.
7. Screw the replacement filter onto the filter head until the gasket makes contact, then rotate the filter ¾
of a turn further.
Check Fluid Outlet Screen
8. Disconnect the outlet hose from the reservoir and plug the hose to prevent foreign material from
entering.
9. Remove the outlet screen. Clean or replace as necessary.
Replenish Hydraulic Fluid
10. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with hydraulic fluid until the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir. Do not fill above the MAX line on the reservoir. The hydraulic reservoir has a capacity of
12.9 liter (3.4 US gal).
11. Operate all machine functions and recheck the fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
