HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER 1.5
The hydraulic oil filter is located in the engine
compartment, accessed by opening the rear door and
lifting the engine compartment cover. The filter is
mounted on the left side, on the oil reservoir.
All oil returning from the control valve is cooled and then
filtered before being used up by the hydraulic system.
The hydraulic oil filter is a spin on type with a 5 micron
rating. The filter material is a synthetic media which
features an accordion pleated design to provide maximum
filtration area. Only Thomas approved filters should be
used.
The filter mounting head has a built in bypass valve that
diverts oil around the filter when more than 25 psi (34
nm) differential pressure is required to force oil through
the filter.
General Information

The hydraulic oil filter must be changed after the first 50
hours of operation and every 150 hours thereafter.
