Checking the Water Filter
When
Check the water filter daily before operating the machine. Daily checks are especially
important if the available water supply is cloudy or dirty.
Location
The water filter is located on the right side of the machine beneath the operator’s platform.
The operator’s platform must be lifted to access the water filter.
Requirements
 Engine stopped
 Water tank drained
 Operator’s platform lifted (see Rear Frame Access).
WARNING
Pinching/crushing hazard. The lifting cylinders do not have enough
force to lift and hold the platform in the open position when the tank is
filled with water.
 Drain the water tank before lifting the platform. See Draining the
Water Spray System for instructions.

Clean or replace the water filter if any of the following conditions exist:
 Cup is missing, damaged, cracked, or chipped
 Strainer is damaged or missing
