[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 49313, member: 82"] I drain my fluid by running the machine at idle and pumping it out of the quick couplers. As soon as it starts to spit i shut it down. Re-fill with oil and change the filter, re-start and it should be good to go. Some don't like doing it like this as they feel the pumps run dry, but they never do, yo always have a film of oil. If you kept it running then yes, it would cause damage. Its you call if you do it this way or not though. If the oil is not contaiminated you can suck the oil out of the reserve tank and re-fill too. As for running the machine flat out, i never run mine like that. It goes on the conditions, half to 3/4 is generally all i run. Its really just something you do by feel. If the machine bogs down too much, bump it up, if its noisy when digging or turning, bump it up a bit too. [/QUOTE]
