IMPORTANT
The operation of a hydraulic circuit generally causes pollution due to impurities : loose
projections, paint, silica, sealing paste, rubber, resulting from the dismantling and assembly of
pipework and components.

Ref. 0502 6044
AT THE FIRST OPERATION
After one hour ½ of operation (corresponding to the running period), it is essential to
check the filter and to service it in order to eliminate pollution and to ensure that none remains
in suspension.
- PRIOR TO DISMANTLING : Clean the module and the area surrounding the
filter plug to avoid dirt entering the filter during servicing.
- Using an appropriate tool, disconnect the hose and remove the filtering element
from the hydraulic block.
- Remove the filtering element by unscrewing the top closing part.
- Soak the filtering element in a container of detergent : gasoline, diesel or benzene
for approximately 5 minutes to decompose particles loaded with oil.
- Blow compressed air through the porous element from the inside to the outside.
- Dry the filtering element.
- Reassemble the filtering element on the hydraulic system. Be carefull to each
joint. Screw the top closing part. Do not force. Clamping torque : 5 N.m.
- Reassemble the complete filter on the block and connect the hose.
SUBSEQUENT USE
Check the state of the porous element at least once during the trimming season. It is
vital that the unit be cleaned before the trimmer is put away (see the higher described
procedure).
IMPORTANT : In all cases, the filter element will be changed every 2 years for a normal
use, and every year in case of an intensive use.
In the event of shock or deterioration, the filter element will have to be
replaced.
