RT765E-2 SERVICE MANUAL

Hydraulic Oil Return Filter Assembly

The hydraulic oil return filter assembly (see Figure 2-1 and
Figure 2-2) is located in the reservoir. It bolts to the top of the
reservoir, and its bypass outlet fits into a tube welded in the
reservoir. The filter housing contains a replaceable filter
element. Returning hydraulic oil flows through the filter head,
through the filter element, and into the reservoir.
An element condition indicator on the filter head indicates
when to change the filter element. When back pressure
caused by a dirty filter element exceeds 25 psi (172.3 kPa/
1.72 bar), the filter head's bypass feature functions to allow
the hydraulic oil to bypass the filter element and flow into the
reservoir through the bypass outlet instead. A bypass filter
screen prevents gross contamination from passing through
the filter even during bypass.
Refer to the following procedures and Figure 2-2 when
removing or installing the hydraulic oil return filter element.
CAUTION
Ensure that all hydraulic systems are shut down and the
pressure is relieved. Moderate to minor injury may result
when working on a pressurized system.
Wear eye protection. Hydraulic fluid can blind or severely
damage eyes.
Element Removal
1. Shut down all hydraulic systems.
2. Wipe any dirt from the cap on top of the return filter
head.
3. Remove the four bolts securing the cap to the return
filter head; remove cap.
4. Inspect the bypass valve (attached to the cap) for any
damage; replace if necessary.

Element Installation
1. Replace the filter with one having the same part number
as the one removed. Lube the O-rings on both ends of
the element and insert the element into the return filter
head.
2. Install the cap on top of the return filter head making
sure that the bypass valve is inserted into the element
and that the new O-ring between the cap and filter head
is installed correctly.
3. Secure the cap to the filter head using the bolts and lock
washers; torque bolts to their specified value.
4. Activate the hydraulic system and check for leaks. Make
repairs as needed.
