b. Fill the reservoir to ¾ full. To allow for thermal
c. Install reservoir filler cap.
5.1.1 FUEL TANK SERVICE.
a. Locate draincock on bottom of tank. Drain any water or sediment, prior to starting the engine.
b. Close draincock & fill tank.
NOTE
Keep fuel tanks filled to reduce condensation which contaminates fuel.
5.2 SERVICING HYDRAULIC FILTERS. All HPS hydraulic system filters incorporate differential pressure switches to indicate when the filters need servicing. No service interval is recommended.
a. Open SUPPLY BYPASS valve (12, Figure 4-10 fully counterclockwise.
b. Replace supply (high) pressure filter (Figure 5-9) by unscrewing filter bowl (1) and removing old element (3). Install new element and install filter bowl.
c. Replace (low pressure filter (Figure 5-9) by removing twelve screws (1) and washers (2). Remove head (3), O-ring (4) and unscrew the retaining plug (5). Remove retainer (6) and element (7). Install new element. Install retainers, plug, and cover with O-ring, and retain with screws and washers.
5.3 ENGINE MAINTENANCE.
5.3.1 CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL. To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows (see Figure 5-1).
a. Check oil level on dipstick (1).
b. Add lubrication oil as required to bring the oil level up to the dipstick MAX level.

Figure 5-1. Oil Level/Addition
5.3.2 SERVICING AIR FILTER (see Figure 5-2). The air cleaner should be checked and the filter replaced as required by the air filter indicator light on the instrument (5, Figure 4-1).
