STEERING CIRCUIT FILTER
Removal
The brake and steering circuit filter is located on the left
frame rail, forward of the hydraulic tank.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic
and other lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to enter a person's body by pene-
trating the skin and cause serious injury and pos-
sibly death if proper medical treatment by a
physician familiar with this injury is not received
immediately.
1. With the key switch ''Off'' allow at least 90 seconds
for the accumulators to bleed down.
2. Remove plug (10, Figure 4-3) and drain oil from the
housing into a suitable container.
Take care to avoid contact with hot oil if truck has
been operating. Avoid spillage and contamination!
3. Remove housing (8) and element (7).
4. Replace O-ring (4) and backup ring (5) in filter head.
Installation
1. Install new element (7). Install housing (8) and
tighten.
2. Replace drain plug (10), and O-ring (9).
NOTE :
The indicator switch (2, Figure 4-3) is preset to actuate
at 35 psid (241 kPa) and is not repairable or adjustable.
If the indicator switch is inoperative, replace the com-
plete switch. Attempting to adjust the switch is not
recommended.
