Changing hyd fluid

[straetzsr]

I thought someone told me how to change the hyd fluid on my HN ls180 but I forgot. I thought they told me to hook up an attachment and then unhook one line and put that in a pail. then run run the Hydraulics and the fluid will drain out of the open line. Is this correct or do I have something mixed up or backwards?

On the LS180 you can remove the small plate which gives you access to the engine oil drain plug. If you look to the right of the drain plug you will see several 3/4" lines going into a rectangular block. Disconnect one of these lines to drain the hydraulic oil.
