[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 78264, member: 3290"] Just so you know, draining the fluid at this point in the system is not going to get all of the old fluid out. Your cylinders and lines will still have old fluid in them. Getting at all of the fluid requires a major disassembly of the machine, and is likely not warranted unless your fluid is contaminated with something really aweful. What a lot of guys do is connect a hose to one of the auxiliary couplings, then operated the machine until it starts to spit air, and then shut down immediately. This gets 90% of the fluid in your system. Coupled with a filter change, this is about all you can rationally do, and is perfectly acceptable as a routine fluid change. HTH- SR [/QUOTE]
