Hydraulic Oil Filter
The hydraulic oil filter gauge (1) is located above
the hydraulic oil filter (2). The gauge measures
pressure into the filter. As the filter clogs, the
pressure goes up.
Check the condition of the filter, at the start of
each work shift, according to the procedure
described in the “Daily Inspection and
Maintenance” chapter 7, in this manual.
