(1) Fill/vent plug (2) Bolts (3) Washers (4) Cover
Slowly loosen fill/vent plug (1) on the top of the hydraulic tank until internal pressure in the hydraulic tank has been completely relieved. Remove fill/vent plug (1) .
Remove four bolts (2), four washers (3), and cover (4) from the top of the hydraulic tank.

(5) Hose (7) Screw
Connect the end of the hose (5) to screw (7). Put the other end of hose (5) into the filler plug opening.
Slowly loosen screw (7) by a maximum of 1/2 turn. This allows the hydraulic oil in the boom circuit to drain into the hydraulic tank. The boom will now start to lower.
Make sure that the implement has lowered all the way to the ground. Tighten screw (7) to a torque of 13 2 N m (9 1 lb ft).
Disconnect hose (5) from screw (7). Do not allow the oil that is contained in hose (5) to spill.
Connect hose (5) to the original position on the hydraulic tank and install fill/vent plug (4) securely.After completion of the manual boom lowering, make necessary repairs before you operate the machine again.Machine with a Boom Lowering Control Valve
Boom load may cause cylinder oil pressure to reach relief pressure of the boom lowering control device when the boom is supported by one cylinder. Boom can lower suddenly, causing possible injury or death.To avoid possible injury or death, be sure no one is under or near the work tool before manually lowering the boom.Keep all personnel away from the boom drop area when lowering the boom with the engine stopped.
If the engine is shut down or the hydraulic system is disabled, the operator can still lower the boom. Use the following procedure if the machine is equipped with a boom lowering control valve.
