When using hydraulic pump filters, it is important to take certain precautions to ensure their proper and safe operation. Here are some precautions to keep in mind: 1. Use the correct filter: Make sure you are using the correct filter for your particular hydraulic system. Filters shall meet the system flow, pressure rating and filtration requirements specified by the manufacturer. 2. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and instructions for installing, maintaining, and replacing hydraulic pump filters. These guidelines may include torque specifications, filter change intervals, and proper filter orientation. 3. Handle with care: Handle filter with care to avoid damage or contamination. Protects the filter from shock, excessive force, or exposure to dust and debris. Avoid touching the filter media with bare hands as this can introduce contaminants. 4. Shut down the system: Shut down the hydraulic system and relieve pressure before performing any maintenance or changing filters. This helps prevent accidental release of pressurized oil and ensures a safer work environment. 5. Venting and Draining: Open any drain or drain valves to relieve any pressure or excess oil before removing the filter. This reduces the risk of spraying or splashing oil when removing the filter. 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-S-3-C8-F-04-GBA-38-38-28 90R130KA5BC80S3C8F04GBA383828 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-S-3-C8-F-04-GBA-38-38-28 90R130KA5BC80S3C8F04GBA383828 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-S-3-C8-F-04-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80S3C8F04GBA353524 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-S-3-C8-F-04-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80S3C8F04GBA353524 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-S-3-C8-F-02-GBA-42-42-24 90R130KA5BC80S3C8F02GBA424224 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-S-3-C8-F-02-GBA-42-42-24 90R130KA5BC80S3C8F02GBA424224 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-H-03-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1H03GBA353524 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-H-03-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1H03GBA353524 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-H-03-GBA-26-26-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1H03GBA262624 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-H-03-GBA-21-32-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1H03GBA213224 6. Proper Disposal: Dispose of used filters according to local regulations and environmental guidelines. Used filters can contain oil residue and contamination, so it is important to dispose of them properly to prevent harm to the environment. 7. Avoid cross-contamination: To prevent cross-contamination, use clean tools and equipment when handling filters. Before installing a new filter, make sure the filter housing, fittings, and surrounding area are clean and free of dust or debris. Replace seals and gaskets: When changing filters, inspect and replace any worn seals or gaskets to maintain a proper seal and prevent leaks. Replace seals and gaskets according to manufacturer's recommendations. 9. Monitor the differential pressure of the filter: regularly monitor the differential pressure across the filter. A significant increase in pressure drop indicates that the filter is clogged or dirty and needs to be replaced. High pressure differentials can reduce system efficiency and can damage hydraulic components. 10. Maintenance and Inspections: Incorporate regular filter inspections and maintenance into your hydraulic system's preventive maintenance program. This includes checking for leaks, verifying proper filter installation, and monitoring filter condition to ensure optimal filtration performance. 11. Filter quality and certifications: Make sure the filters you use meet industry standards and certifications. Find filters that are rated and certified to meet the filtration efficiency and performance standards your hydraulic system requires. 12. Filter Housing Integrity: Regularly inspect the filter housing for any signs of damage, corrosion or leaks. Make sure the housing is properly sealed and secure to prevent oil leakage or contamination. System Cleanliness: To reduce the accumulation of contaminants, extend the life of the filter and keep the hydraulic system clean. Regularly clean system components such as reservoirs, hoses, and fittings to prevent the ingress of dirt, debris, or other foreign matter. 14. Change filters regularly: Follow the manufacturer's recommended filter change intervals. Replacing filters at regular intervals helps ensure optimum filtration performance and prevents excessive pressure drop or by-pass contamination. 15. Bypass Valve Check: Some filters are equipped with a bypass valve that allows oil to bypass the filter element if the filter pressure drop is too high. Check the bypass valve periodically to make sure it is functioning properly and not stuck open. 16. Use the correct tools: When removing or installing the filter, use the proper tools to ensure proper and secure installation. Do not use excessive force or you may damage the filter or filter housing. 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-H-03-GBA-21-32-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1H03GBA213224 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-H-02-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1H02GBA353524 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-H-02-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1H02GBA353524 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-F-02-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1F02GBA353524 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-R-4-F1-F-02-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R4F1F02GBA353524 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-3-F1-H-03-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R3F1H03GBA353524 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-R-3-F1-H-03-GBA-35-35-24 90R130KA5BC80R3F1H03GBA353524 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-3-C8-H-06-GBA-45-45-32 90R130KA5BC80R3C8H06GBA454532 90R130-KA-5-BC-80-R-3-C8-H-06-GBA-45-45-32 90R130KA5BC80R3C8H06GBA454532 90-R-130-KA-5-BC-80-R-3-C8-H-06-GBA-45-45-28 90R130KA5BC80R3C8H06GBA454528 17. Documentation: Keep records of filter replacement and maintenance activities, including dates, filter part numbers, and any relevant observations. This documentation can help track the history of filter changes and identify any recurring issues or patterns. 18. Training and Awareness: Ensure that those responsible for maintaining hydraulic systems are properly trained in filter maintenance and replacement procedures. They should be aware of the importance of filters in maintaining system cleanliness and performance. 19. System flushing: If the hydraulic system has been contaminated or has undergone major repairs, consider flushing the system before installing new filters. Flushing can help remove any remaining contaminants and ensure the effectiveness of the new filter. 20. Regular system checks: Regularly check your hydraulic system for any signs of filter-related problems, such as leaks, pressure drops, or oil quality degradation. Handle any exceptions in a timely manner to maintain system reliability. Remember to consult the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for your hydraulic system and filters. By following these precautions, you can maximize the effectiveness of your hydraulic pump filter and promote the overall health and performance of your hydraulic system.
