Skin contact with hydraulic oil may cause skin injury.

Wear protective gloves and firm working clothing. Collect escaping oil and discard without polluting the environment.

Do not start up the drive engine when the hydraulic oil reservoir is empty. The hydraulic pumps may be destroyed if they are allowed to run dry.

Drawing off hydaulic oil

Bring the hydraulic oil to operating temperature (abt. 50 ° C).

Position the machine with a slight inclination towards the drain valve (5, Fig. 3-60:).

The drain valve is located at the back of the hydraulic oil reservoir and accessible from the bottom.

Retract the hydraulic cylinders as far as possible and stand the working equipment on the ground.

Shut off the engine.

Place suitable recipients under the drain valve (5) of the hydraulic oil reservoir. For the required capacity refer to the "Refilling quantitiesOil" table.

Connect hose (15) to drain valve (5) and drain off used oil completely. Draining is facilitated if the breather filter (6, Fig. 3-61:) is removed during the process.

The use of the oil draining hose is described in the "Draining hose for oil changes" section.
