The machine must be level. The equipment must be lowered. The engine must be stopped.
- 1. Open the right side front access door. Remove the hydraulic tank cap slowly to relieve pressure.
- 2. Open the left front access door. Remove the cap from the hydraulic filter drain valve.
- 3. Turn valve (1) into the housing. Open the bleed screw (2) and allow the housing oil to drain.

(24)Fuel System-Change fuel filters
Primary Element
| NOTICE |
|---|
Contamination of the fuel will cause accelerated wear of the fuel system parts. Do not fill fuel filters before installing them. |
- 1. Lower all equipment and stop the engine. Open the right rear access door.
- 2. Loosen the bolt (1) on the filter base.
- 3. Lower the filter case (3) and remove the element (2).

Secondary Element
- 1. Remove the secondary filter and discard it.
- 2. Clean the filter base. Make sure all of the old filter seal is removed.
- 3. Coat the seal of a new filter with clean diesel fuel.
- 4. Install the new filter by hand. When the seal contacts the base, tighten 3/4 turn more. There are rotation marks 90° apart on the filter. Use these as a guide for proper tightening.
- 5. Start the engine and check for leaks. If the engine does not start, prime the fuel system.
- 6. Close the access door.
Priming the Fuel System
Filters and Pump Housing
- 1. Open the bleed valve on the pump housing.
- 2. Unscrew the hand priming pump plunger until it can be pulled out by hand.
- 3. Move the plunger in and out until fuel flows, free of air bubbles, from the bleed valve.
- 4. Close the bleed valve.
- 5. Push the plunger in and tighten by hand.
- 6. Start the engine and check for leaks.
Injection Pumps and Lines
The injection pumps and high pressure lines must be primed if the engine will not start, or runs rough, after priming the filters and pump housing.
Each injection pump has a reverse flow check valve. These cannot be opened with hand priming pump pressure. Use the following procedure to prime the injection pumps and lines.
| NOTICE |
|---|
The fuel injection nozzles can be permanently damaged by twisting if only one wrench is used to loosen or tighten the fuel line nuts. Use one wrench to hold the nozzle and another to loosen the nut. |
- 1. Loosen each of the fuel line nuts at the cylinder head end.
- 2. Crank the engine with the starting motor until fuel flows, free of air bubbles, from each of the injection lines. Stop cranking the engine.
- 3. Tighten each of the fuel line nuts to a torque of 40 ± 7 N·m (30 ± 5 lb. ft.). Use a second wrench on the nozzle to prevent damage to it.
- 4. Start the engine and check for leaks.
