I tried to do a search as I am sure it has been covered before but failed. I need to remove the cover of the resevior and understand that it has to come straight up or I will crush the strainer. I have everything ready to go and it looks like there are four places to screw bolts into to lift up with but they are located on the back 1/2 of the cover. Is there a trick or do you just push down on the short end and hope you are strong enough? Any help greatly appreciated, esp. pics!
Also how would you flush the system, the reason I am taking the cover off is that I put some bad fluid in and wanted to get as much out and clean the filter. (Somehow stuff go in the fluid and I didn"t notice until a couple clumps had fallen through.)
Thanks!

I have had mine off several times. But I am quite sure I never have, or never will, do it right.
I run a 1/4" chain under one of the straps that hold the seat and snug the bolts on each end of the strap. Then put a loop in the chain, run another length of chain around the hydraulic controls and put a loop in this chain to match the loop in the first chain (otherwise, mine wants to tilt toward the controls). Then, I have used both a chain hoist and a come along to hook through both loops and lift it straight up. Then, I have been able to do what I need to do.

I agree with Greg, Use blocking to prevent it from sliding. Using a lift/cherry picker, or a strong confident assistant is also a Good idea. Block it up at an angle and retrieve the junk. While in there, remove and clean the intake screen. Great opportunity to do it. JimN

Great, thanks guys.
How about draining the system to get water or other small particles out?

If I remember, it is on the right under the front valveing. a pipe plug. Messy! I would put a 2" nipple in the hole to allow a container to be put under it. JimN
