25.4 High-pressure filter
Fig. 674
The high-pressure filters (1) for the working and steering hydraulics are equipped with an visual
contamination indicator (2). The contamination indicator (2) provides visual information about
the degree of contamination of the filter. During start-ups in the cold state, the button of the
contamination indicator (2) can jump out.
• Push the button back in once the operating temperature has been reached.
• If it pops out again immediately, the filter insert must be replaced.
• Check the contamination indicator each time before operating it. If necessary, replace the
contaminated filter insert. If the contamination indicator does not respond, replace the filter
insert once annually or with every oil change.
