Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or diesel equipment technician. Before replacing the filter, relieve system hydraulic pressure completely and allow the fluid to cool to a safe handling temperature. Apply a light film of clean hydraulic fluid to the gasket before threading the filter onto the base by hand until snug, then tighten per standard spin-on filter practice. Inspect the included and replacement gaskets to confirm correct seating and prevent bypass leaks after startup.
