Installation Precautions
Position & Direction: Install near the reservoir on the return line; align the flow arrow with oil direction (to avoid reversed flow damage).
Sealing & Torque: Use new O-rings lubricated with clean oil; tighten connections to the specified torque to prevent leakage.
Pressure & Bypass: Match the filter’s pressure rating (typically ≤25 bar); ensure the bypass valve (0.35–0.4 MPa) functions correctly to avoid overpressure.
Cleanliness: Clean mounting surfaces and pipelines before installation to avoid introducing contaminants.
Flow Compatibility: Size the filter for the system’s maximum flow rate to handle surges and avoid pressure drop.
Maintenance Precautions
Pressure Monitoring: Check the differential pressure gauge; replace the element when the pressure reaches 0.3–0.5 MPa (or per the indicator).
Regular Replacement: Replace elements every 1000 hours or 3–6 months (sooner in severe conditions); replace seals each time.
Depressurization First: Shut down the system, relieve pressure, and vent the tank before maintenance to prevent oil spray.
Clean Housing: Wipe the housing with a lint-free cloth (no rags); inspect for debris (e.g., metal shavings) to check component wear.
Leak Check: After installation, run the system and check for leaks; verify the bypass valve and indicator work properly.
Fluid Compatibility: Ensure filter materials match the hydraulic fluid to avoid chemical degradation.
