Servicing Hydraulic System

[David Hanvy]

I plan to undertake changing the filters in the hydraulic system on my
89 WB. Having never done this task before, I would appreciate any
information re issues/pitfalls to avoid.

Dave: Easy Job. Just drain the tank. Plug in bottom. Remove the top
of tank and remove the three (3) fiters that are stacked on top of one
another. Reinstall plug in bottom of tank. Install top on tank and fill
with 10w30 motor oil. Job completed, less than 30 minutes. If you plan
on replacing the vertical cartrige type element it's simply unscrew the
canister and install filter. I don;t know of many people that replace
the vertical cartrige element, it seems to last forever. It's also the
most expensive around $90.00. This is a easy job, really straight-
forward and no unexpected suprises..Good Luck...Bob 93pt Illinois

Bob, thanks for the reply. I have owned my coach since March of
2004. I could not find any record of the vertical element having
ever been changed so I ordered that filter as well as the three in
the tank. FYI; I crossed referenced the Parker number over to a
Donaldson PN number P170073 which I purchased $61
