🔍 Key Concepts

• Flow path of lube oil through a metal‑edge strainer (look at the arrows in the illustration). • Where sludge and dirt collect in this design (inside the disk stack, outside the disk stack, or at the bottom?). • How the T‑handle and drain connection are used during cleaning.

💭 Think About

• Trace the arrows to see whether oil passes from outside to inside the disks, or inside to outside. Then ask yourself: on which side of the disks would dirt be trapped? • Look closely at labels B, C, and D: which one is obviously the drain point, and where are the solids shown collecting in the cutaway? • Think about normal maintenance: would a single small turn of the handle be enough to scrape and flush all those disk edges, or would more motion be needed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify where the sludge is actually drawn in the picture – is it against the outer or inner disk surfaces? • Confirm which fitting is clearly the drain connection (bottom or upper center) by its shape and location. • Check whether particles larger than the disk spacing could physically pass through the gaps and continue upward with the flow, or if they would be stopped at the edges.

Question 1 of 20

Sludge and dirt accumulate on the inner surface of the strainer disks.

One turn of the T-handle is sufficient for cleaning the disks.

Particles of solid matter larger than the distances between the disks flow up through the inner space.

Drain lines are connected to the upper center section for cleaning.
