Hydraulic suction strainer 32/904200 Teletruk, genuine

For the JCB Teletruk forklifts: hydraulic suction strainer 32/904200, a genuine JCB part. This part is the strainer fitted on the pump suction inside the hydraulic tank.

Suction strainers are usually a washable wire-mesh type fitted inside the hydraulic tank on the pump suction line, stopping coarse particles reaching the pump. If the strainer clogs, the pump struggles to draw oil, a cavitation whine develops and the pump wears quickly. The strainer is removed and checked at hydraulic oil changes, and a distorted or torn strainer is replaced. When fitting it, check its thread and O-ring, since a leak in the suction line makes the pump draw in air. The strainer comes new.

Fitting

Inspect the old element: metal swarf or shiny particles on it point to wear in the pump or cylinders, and the system then needs checking. Record the date and engine hours of the change in the service log. Check the hydraulic oil level in the position the maker specifies (usually with the arms in a set position), since a reading taken in the wrong position leads to over- or under-filling.
