(42) Passage

The return oil from the hydraulic oil cooler flows through port (40) and passage (42) to return chamber (35) .

Return filter (19) consists of element (34) and relief valve (41) . The return filter is mounted on the rear surface of the hydraulic tank.

The return oil passes through element (34) of return filter (19) . The return oil then flows through line (38) to hydraulic tank (25) . Thereafter, the oil passes through suction filter (37) and the oil is delivered to the pumps through suction line (39) .

(43) Air breather

Air breather (43) is located on the upper surface of the hydraulic tank. The air breather prevents an increase or a decrease of air pressure in the hydraulic tank regardless of the following circumstances :

  • Change of air pressure in the hydraulic tank due to cylinder movement.

  • Change of air pressure in the hydraulic tank capacity due to a temperature change.
