Replacing Filter Elements
This topic contains procedures for replacing the following
hydraulic filter elements (see Figure 2-2):
• Filter 1 for supercharge system.
• Filter 2 for accessory system.
• Filters 3 and 4 for drums.
System fault alert will come on in operator’s cab when any
filter is plugged with dirt (see Operating Controls or Digital
Display Readings in Section 3 of Crane Operator’s Manual).
Alert indicates which filter needs servicing.
It is normal for alert to come on at start-up when oil is cold. If
filters are not plugged, alert will turn off after hydraulic oil
warms up.
NOTE: Filter 5 (not shown) in suction line to pumps is
located in hydraulic tank. Tank must be drained to
clean filter. See procedures under Changing Oil.
