HYDRAULIC FILTER
The hydraulic filter is a spin-on, replaceable element
in the return line. The element provides 10 micron
nominal filtration before the oil is returned into the
tank.
The filter is equipped with a gauge which indicates
the pressure differential between the entry and exit
of the oil into the filter. When the gauge indicates in
the red, it should be replaced.
If the element is not replaced and becomes clogged,
a bypass opens in the filter head to release unfiltered
oil into the tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the crane with a
clogged filter.
