Hydraulic Fluid Question

I have a 2003 Winnebago Ultimate Advantage, on a spartan chassis. I purchased the filters, 1 spin on and 1 in the tank, along with 2 gallons of ISO 46 hyd.fluid is there anything I need to do before, or after I change out the filters and fluid? or is it a simple task, just drain the fluid, and change the filters , then refill the tank.
I've had the coach for 3 years now. It has 52k miles, I've never had the hyd. fluid changed, so I thought I would tackle the job myself and save some money.

I have changed mine. It is very straight forward just as you state above. I cleaned everything real good before removing the tank cover so as not to get any dirt inside. Good luck.

I found it easy to mostly fill the tank before putting lid on.
