Replacing the Hydro Fluid Filters
Replace the two (2) Hydro Fluid Filters (Figure 31) after the first 250 hours of operation, and then again after
500 hours of operation.
Tools Needed:
•
Oil Filter Wrench (obtainable from a local auto parts or hardware store)
•
Rags and a suitable container for any used Hydraulic fluid
•
30 Weight, Synthetic, Hydraulic Fluid (as required)
1. Locate the two (2) left and right Hydro Fluid Filters (Figure 31).
2. Using an Oil Filter Wrench, or grasping the Fluid Filter firmly with your hand, unscrew the Fluid
Filter counterclockwise from the Hydro Fluid Filter Base. BE SURE THAT THE OLD FILTER GASKET
COMES OFF WITH THE FILTER.
3. Wipe the mounting base for the Fluid Filter with a clean cloth.
4. Apply a thin coat of clean hydraulic fluid to the new Fluid Filter Gasket. DO NOT USE GREASE.
5. Line up the threads carefully to avoid cross threading and screw the new Fluid Filter on until the
Filter Gasket contacts the base, and then tighten the Fluid Filter 3/4 to 1 turn. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN.
6. Add any lost fluid during the Filter replacement. See page 24.
NOTE:
Be sure to use environmentally safe disposal procedures in the disposing of any used fluid.
