Operating Instructions BMS-270LPII
Hydraulic System
10.8 Return
Filter
Item 8 (P000849) on Service Drawing 700-SD0010 is an in-tank return filter with a filter
pressure gauge and tank vent. See drawing number 700-0121 for the location of filters
and strainers. The return filter has a replaceable 10-micron filter element that filters the
oil before it is put back in the hydraulic tank. The gauge should be checked at the
beginning of each workday and the filter replaced if indicated by the reading on the
gauge. The drive motor should be running at 3500 rpm when the gauge is checked. If
the filter needs to be replaced and is not, it will reduce the flow on oil to the hydraulic
tank and increase the pressure in the system. This increased pressure will result in a
decrease in multiscraper performance and could possible damage the hydraulic
components.
10.9 Suction
Strainer
Item 9 (P002344) on Service Drawing 700-SD0010 is an in-tank 100-mesh suction strainer.
See drawing number 700-0121 for the location of filters and strainers. This suction strainer is
used to filter large debris from entering the hydraulic gear pump. If you notice a decrease in
cylinder or auxiliary tool function it could be due to a dirty suction strainer. Moreover, if the
auxiliary gear pump begins to make a growling noise the fluid level could be low or the
suction strainer could be clogged. This strainer can be removed, cleaned and retuned to the
hydraulic tank.
