Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician. Before servicing, relieve all system pressure and allow the hydraulic fluid to cool to a safe handling temperature. Apply a light coat of clean hydraulic fluid to the gasket before threading on the filter by hand until snug, then follow the filter manufacturer torque guidance printed on the filter or header. Verify there are no leaks after returning the system to operating pressure.
