nation.
3. Drain hydraulic oil from reservoir.
4. Label hydraulic hoses to assist in installation. Dis-
connect all hydraulic hoses and tubes from fittings on

container.Plug or cap openings of reservoirand lines to
prevent contamination.
5. Remove hydraulic reservoir using Figure 57 as a
guide.
6. Remove suction strainer from reservoir. Discard O--
ring.
7. If hydraulic fittings are to be removed from reservoir,
mark fitting orientation to allow correct assembly. Re-
move fittings from reservoir and discard O--rings.
Inspection (Fig. 57)
1. Clean hydraulic reservoir and suction strainer with
solvent.
2. Inspect hydraulic reservoir for leaks, cracks or other
damage.
Installation (Fig. 57)
1. If fittings were removed from reservoir, lubricate and
place newO--ringsonto fittings.Install fittingsintoreser-
voir openings using marks made during the removal
process to properly orientate fittings. Tighten fittings
(see Hydraulic Fitting Installation in the General Infor-
mation section of this chapter).
2. Lubricate new suction strainer O--ring and install
onto strainer. Thread suction strainer into hydraulicres-
ervoiruntilfinger tight.Then,usingawrench,turnstrain-
er into reservoir port 1--1/2 to 2 full turns beyond finger
tight.
3. Position hydraulic reservoir to machine. Secure re-
servoir to frame with two (2) clamps (item 13), washer
head screws (item 26) and flange nuts (item 27).
4. Remove all plugs and caps placed in hoses and fit-
tings during the removal process.
5. Install hydraulic hoses to fittings on hydraulic reser-
voir in positions noted during removal.
6. Fill hydraulic reservoir with new hydraulic fluid.
7. Lower and secure reservoir cover.
8. Operate machine. Check hydraulic lines and fittings
forleaks.Tightenanylooseconnections.Checkhydrau-
lic oil level and adjust if necessary.
