Check/Replace Return Line Filter Element
The return line filter is a vital component of the hydraulic

are bound to occur among the hydraulic system components. Stick to the strict maintenance
schedule for this item.
Time lapse recommendations for element replacement:
After the first five days of unit operation.
After the first calender month of unit operation.
Thereafter, every twelve calender months or sooner, if so indicated by the filter replacement
indicator (see Figure 5-1, #3).
The condition of the filter element must be checked weekly by looking at the visual indicator on the
filter (see Figure 5-1, #3).
