Summary

This guideline enables dealers and customers to benefit from cleaner hydraulic systems. This guideline provides directions for you to install and operate the filter cart system.

Clean fluids play a major function in the life of any fluid system. The following procedure will help reduce fluid contamination in the oil to an acceptable level of ISO 18/15 or cleaner.


NOTICE

If the machine is being serviced due to a catastrophic failure, a complete system cleaning operation is required before initializing this kidney loop filtration procedure. If the failure is not addressed early, particles from the failed component will contaminate other system components such as valves, pumps, motors and and controls. Additional component cleaning and component exchange and lines flushing will be required to remove most contaminates generated from the failure. The machine system cleaning must be performed prior to the kidney looping. This filtration procedure and subsequent particle count testing should be performed as a final step in the repair process.

Note: The 9U-5968 Filter Assembly or the 173-9842 Filter Cart can be used in this guideline. Both units have a 321 L/min (85 US gpm) maximum flow. Both units have a working pressure of 41368 kPa (6000 psi).

System "Off-Board" Filtration Procedure

There are three possible filtering scenarios to consider before starting this procedure.

  • Filtering machine hydraulics only. No work tools in the system.

  • Filtering machine hydraulics with work tools that have hydraulic cylinders.

  • Filtering machine hydraulics with work tools that have single direction oil flow.

This procedure is intended to filter the work tool first. Then, the procedure requires filtration of the hydraulic tank and auxiliary lines.

This guideline is intended for Backhoe Loaders and Integrated Toolcarriers. The procedure is most effective when performed immediately after the oil has been warmed to 50 °C (122 °F) and mixed from operation. Warming the oil allows any contamination in the system oil to be placed in suspension. Warming the oil also lowers the viscosity of the oil. Be sure to read and understand the Tool Operating Manual, NEHS0778, "188-3242 Filter Cart" before you begin the procedure.

"Off-Board" Filtration Setup

------ WARNING! ------

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin.

----------------------

  1. Operate the machine to warm the oil.

    Note: Do not deadhead or stall the cylinders or the work tools. Stalling either one may cause air to be ingested into the oil.

  1. Park the machine on level ground.

  1. Lower the attachment to the ground. Apply slight downward pressure to the attachment.

  1. Take an oil sample.

    Note: Caterpillar recommends taking a particle count before starting the kidney loop procedure. Use the sample as a baseline particle count.

  1. Turn OFF the engine.

  1. Turn the engine start key to the ON position. Move all implement functions to relieve system pressure.

Filtering Machine Hydraulics Only

Note: The following steps are intended for machine hydraulic systems with no work tools.

Oil Analysis Procedure

Note: Caterpillar recommends taking a particle count on the oil at the beginning of the filter cycle to be used as a baseline particle count.

The oil can be particle count tested for cleanliness in one of the two following ways.

  • Use a portable particle analyzer for immediate results.

  • Collect a bottle sample and send the sample to an S·O·S lab.

Portable Particle Analyzer Procedure

Note: When using the portable particle analyzer for particle counting, be sure to read and understand the Tool Operating Manual before operating.

  1. If you collect a bottle sample, use the same S·O·S valve (12) and a 169-8373 Fluid Sampling Bottle (16) .

  1. Record an oil sample reading from the S·O·S valve (12) on the machine at the beginning and at the end of the filter cycle.

  1. At the halfway point of filtration, stop the procedure and change the machine hydraulic oil filters. Changing the filters allows the filters to assist in the system cleaning. The new filters can remain in place until the next scheduled filter change. Changing the filters at this time avoids opening the filter housing after the system has been cleaned. An open filter housing is an inlet for contamination.

    Note: Replace the machine filters only if the filters are not working at optimal performance, or scheduled to be changed.

  1. Cycle the oil until the portable particle analyzer indicates the oil has reached an acceptable contaminant level of ISO 18/15 or cleaner.

    Note: A target ISO level does not exist for nonpressurized, non-filtered compartments at this time. ISO 18/15 is an acceptable contamination level for oil returned back into this type of compartment.

  1. When the target ISO level or the time interval has been met, turn OFF the machine.

  1. Disconnect the attachment hose (10) from the filter unit on the filter cart.

  1. Reconnect the attachment hose (10) to the machine coupling (11) .

  1. Check the hydraulic tank oil level before you return the machine to service.

ISO 4406:1999 Method for Coding the Level of Contaminates by Solid Particles

ISO is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. The ISO 4406:1999 specifies the code to be used in defining the quantity of solid particles in the fluid. This ISO code is used in any given hydraulic fluid power system. An automatic particle counter derives the equivalent size of a particle from the cross sectional area of the particle. Particle counts are affected by various factors. These factors include: procurement of the sample, the sample container, particle counting accuracy used, and the particle count cleanliness. Proper care should be taken during the sample procurement to ensure that the sample obtained is representative of the fluid circulating in the system.

The code for contamination levels using automatic particle counters is composed of three scale numbers. ExampleX/Y/Z

"X" - The number of particles that is equal to or larger than 4 microns.

"Y" - The number of particles that is equal to or larger than 6 microns.

"Z" - The number of particles that is equal or larger than 14 microns

At this time Caterpillar does not require the reporting of the "X" scale number since the hydraulic tolerances exceed the 4 micron value. Therefore a "-" is used in place of the "X". For example, a particle count is read as -/Y/Z, meaning that there was no requirement to count particles equal to or larger than 4 microns.
