The hydraulic filter should be cleaned at regular yearly intervals.
The filter may be removed from the unit by disconnecting the union on the suction
side of the pump, removing the four bolts retaining the cover plate, and lifting the fil-
ter from the reservoir.
Care should be exercised in cleaning the fiIter to insure that the element is not torn.
Clean the element with a soft brush and standard industrial solvent.
Replace the filter after cleaning and tighten the union securely. Pump noise and a
"crackle" sound is most often caused by air entering the pump suction line.
Tightening the suction fittings will usually eliminate the problem.
