🔍 Key Concepts

• Hydraulic system contamination and how it affects components over time • The function of a filter in protecting pumps, actuators, and lines • What happens when flow is restricted or debris is allowed to circulate

💭 Think About

• Think about what an improperly maintained filter might allow to build up in the system and how that would affect moving parts downstream. • Consider how a partially clogged filter would change the flow and pressure going to the actuator. • Ask yourself: if dirt and debris travel through the system, which components could realistically be damaged or start malfunctioning?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how a clogged or dirty filter affects system pressure and flow. • Consider whether contamination can promote leaks at connections due to wear or erosion. • Consider whether overpressure from a blocked filter could stress piping, hoses, and actuators enough to fail.
