GENERAL
This filter is used to filter the lubri-
cating oil in the transmission and chain
or gear case circulating oil systems.
OPERATION
The filter element consists of a series
of alternately spaced discs, spacers and
cleaner blades. The spacers form small
openings through which the oil
must
pass.
As the oil flows through the element,
foreign material is deposited on the discs
and spacers. When the handle is turned,
the discs and spacers are rotated past the
cleaner blades. The cleaner blades dis-
lodge the particles, causing them to drop
to the bottom of the sump.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Clean the filter cartridge by turning the
handle one complete revolution, in either
direction, several times daily. Experi-
ence should dictate the interval between
cleanings; there is no danger in turning
the handle too often. The harder the
handle turns, the greater the amount of
particles collected on the element.
CAUTION
NEVER USE A WRENCH OR OTHER TOOL TO TURN
THE HANDLE. CARTRIDGE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
If the handle turns hard, rotate it back
and forth until the cartridge frees itself
and the handle can be turned easily
through a complete revolution.
Tighten the gland nut if there is leakage
past the gland packing. Do not over-
tighten; the handle will be harder to turn.
If leakage persists, replace the gland
packing.
