If your hydraulic filter is this color (black), it’s time to change a new hydraulic filter.

How do I know if my hydraulic filter is bad?
As the filter becomes clogged, the restriction of fluid flow can cause a drop of hydraulic pressure in the system. You may notice a drop in power output.

Notice weird, cranky noises?
A clogged hydraulic filter can produce unusual noises. These noises may include whining, rattling or grinding sounds.

Potential Damages Without Regular Maintenance
Failures of internal components and your equipment can wreak havoc and cause long downtime. This is why changing hydraulic filters on a regular basis is a must for your hydraulic equipment.
