1. Remove five bolts (1) and washers (2). Remove cover (3) from the top of the hydraulic tank.

2. Clean the area thoroughly to keep dirt out of the return filter and filler cap.

Pressurized system!

The hydraulic tank contains hot oil under pressure. To prevent

burns from the sudden release of hot oil, relieve the tank
pressure with the engine off. Relieve pressure by slowly turning
the cap until the cap reaches the secondary stop.
