VI. Filtration and Cooling Circuit
Filtration
XL 4100 & 5100 SERIES EXCAVATORS use 6 filters to condition and cleanse hydraulic fluid. These filters are
located in the reservoir area and the engine compartment.
See Figure 10
for filter locations and
Figure 11
for filtration and cooling circuit.
Suction Screen (100 mesh)
Mounted inside reservoir on outlet line to pump.
See Figure 8
Prevents foreign objects from entering pump
intakes. When draining reservoir for routine oil changes, remove & inspect this screen.
Do not
attempt to clean.
Replace if contaminated.
Breather (10 micron)
Mounted in the engine compartment.
See Figure 10
Allows air to escape when reservoir pressure is above 10
PSI. Allows air to enter the reservoir when pressure is below 0.3 PSI vacuum. Low air pressure (6 PSI) warning
switch located in dump tube and monitor in operators cab. Replace when low pressure warning light stays on.
Replace filter element whenever other hydraulic system filter elements are replaced.
Recirculation Return Filter (8 micron)
Mounted in engine compartment.
See Figure 10
Reconditions hydraulic fluid received from the recirculation
pump whenever the engine is running. Equipped with a 25 PSI relief valve which allows fluid to bypass
whenever this value is exceeded. A mechanical pressure gauge and an electrical switch warns of high filter
pressure. Replace the filter element whenever high pressure warning devices consistantly read high.
Swing Suction Filter (8 micron)
Mounted in engine compartment.
See Figure 10
Reconditions hydraulic fluid received from the recirculation filter.
Has No bypass features. Delivers fluid to the intake port of the swing pump. Equipped with a mechanical gauge
and an electrical switch to warn of low filter pressure. Replace filter element anytime the mechanical gauge so
indicates.
Pilot Filter (10 micron)
Mounted inside engine compartment.
See Figure 10
Equipped with a pop-up filter condition indicator.
Whenever red color shows, the element must be changed. Will show bypass whenever fluid is under 100°F.
Receives fluid from 6.6 GPM pilot pump. Filters all pilot circuit fluid.
Reservoir Return Filter (10 micron)
Mounted in main return line, inboard side of reservoir.
See Figure 8
Reconditions hydraulic fluid returning from
main control valve assemplies. No oil is supplied to this filter unless the control valves are activated. Equipped
with a magnet, 15 PSI bypass valve, and an electrical bypass indicator.
See Figure 9
Filter element should be
changed if the warning light comes on with fluid temperature @ 100°F. After element change, ensure all seals
are correctly placed whenever cover is reinstalled and tightened.
