a. REMOVAL:

WARNING

Some hoses may contain small amounts of trapped hydraulic pressure. Wear protective clothing including a face shield,

head gear and gloves. Fine streams of hydraulic fluid under pressure cannot be readily seen but can easily penetrate the

skin causing severe personal injury. Use extreme caution and be alert whenever breaking into a hydraulic system.

WARNING

Hydraulic fluid may be extremely hot. Allow the SPEMS to stand fifteen minutes before breaking into hydraulic system.

Figure 3-30. Hydraulic System Gate Valves (Sheet 2 of 2).

(1) Close (turn fully clockwise) the suction and return gate valves (1 and 2, Figure 3-30) at the hydraulic reservoir.

(2) Place a drip pan below the swivel end of the hose.

(3) Disconnect the hose at the swivel end. Use two wrenches, one on the fitting and the other on the swivel

connector. Allow the fluid to drain into the drip pan.

See Foldouts, Figures FO-5, for hydraulic schematic.
