3 Flush the tank and drain hose with clean water.
4 Put the plug back into the hose and return the hose to its storage area.
SERVICE NOTE: The recovery tank can be tipped out to the side for cleaning after emptying. Release the Latch (48) at the front of the tank
next to the engine air  lter (8) and then pull out on the tank with grip (31) until the tank reaches the end of its tether. Remove the recovery
tank lid for easier cleaning.

CHECK THE HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
WARNING!
To avoid hydraulic oil injection or injury, always wear appropriate clothing and eye protection when working with or near hydraulic
system.
See Figure 3. Remove the Right Engine Access Panel (37) and look at the Gauge (A) on the side of the reservoir. If the oil level is
below the minimum level, add 10W30 motor oil until the gauge reads between the minimum and maximum levels. Change the oil if
major contamination from a mechanical failure occurs. SERVICE NOTE: Remove the small access panel (49) directly above the
reservoir to add oil. This panel is held on by (2) wing nuts on the underside of the panel. The large Allan Head Plug (B) on the top of
the reservoir is for adding oil.
IMPORTANT!
This machine is equipped with an Indicator Light (F) which lights if the “In Tank” oil  lter requires changing. Remove  lter
element from the  lter cup (C) and replace with new  lter. Hydraulic  lter is found on top of the Hydraulic Reservoir (36) as
shown.
