  3. When the filter is loose, use your hand to gently finish unscrewing the filter and then remove it. Dispose properly of the used hydraulic fluid filter.

♻ Important: Dispose of waste properly

Polluting drains, water courses, and/or soil is illegal. Use authorized waste disposal facilities to dispose of used oil. For more information, contact your local authorized servicing dealer or the local agency for waste recycling.

Step 2: Replace filter
  1. Before installing the new filter, clean any break-in debris in the hydraulic fluid filter cover.
  2. Carefully line up the threads on the new hydraulic fluid filter, and slowly screw the filter into place. Do not over-tighten the filter; it should be hand tight.
  3. Once the hydraulic fluid filter has been replaced, dip the hydraulic reservoir dipstick and then shine a black light on the dipstick to check the level in the reservoir.
  4. If needed, add fluid to the reservoir.
