H.S.T.SYSTEM OIL FILTERS
The H S T system is provided with two cartridge
type filters. They are used as line filter and suction
filter. The filters are located on the right side and
front side of transmission housing, Figure 31.
Change the two filters after first 50 hours. Thereafter
change the line filter every 100 hours and the
suction filter every 200 hours.
IMPORTANT: These fillers are two different
sizes and not interchangeable. They are also
different than the engine filter. Use the correct filter.
Changing the Line or Suction Filter:
1. Unscrew the oil filter and discard.
2. Coat the gasket on the new filter with a film of
oil. Screw the filter into place until the gasket
contacts the sealing surface, then tighten the
filter approximate 3/4 of a turn by hand. Do
not overtighten.
3. Start the engine and check the hydraulic oil
filter for leaks.
4. Stop the engine and check the hydraulic oil
level. Replenish if necessary.
