Lefty loosey.

As said above.

The line you are showing is the suction to the hydro pump.

Drain plug is on the bottom as shown in the attached picture.

 

 

The suction line loosening will get rid of most of the oil but it is preferred to remove the small drain plug.

 

You will need an allen key to remove this.

Yes you are right thank you for that but I thought if I loosen the suction line like you said I will get rid of a lot more of the oil? Do you think I should not touch that?

The real drain plug will drain in a better fashion as in the oil will drop straight down.

 

I have one machine that has a bad drain plug that I cannot get out so I just drained what I could from the pump suction line.

 

You cannot get every last bit out as some will remain in the lines and lift cylinder itself so the refill will take a bit less oil than the manual states.
