water regulations of the
country concerned.
Notice
Statutory accident prevention
regulations, safety
regulations and safety data
Caution sheets for fluids must be
observed.
When working on, or in the
vicinity of, hydraulic
systems, naked flames, spark
Caution generation and smoking are
forbidden.
Hydraulic oils and water-
polluting fluids must not be
allowed to enter the soil or
Caution watercourses or sewer
systems. Please ensure safe
and environmentally friendly disposal
of hydraulic oils. The relevant
regulations in the country concerned
with regard to ground water pollution,
used oil and waste must be complied
with.
The maximum storage
duration of BDE filters/BDE
cartridges is 2 years!
Caution The following conditions
must be provided by the

- cool storage (≤ 40 °C)
- protection from UV exposure
Not suitable for cleaning with
high-pressure cleaner!
Customer Information in respect of
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Hydraulic filters are fluid power parts/
components and are therefore excluded
from the scope of the Machinery Directive.
They do not bear the CE mark.
Before using these components, ensure
compliance with the specifications
provided by HYDAC Filtertechnik GmbH in
this documentation.
The specifications also contain information
on the relevant essential health and
safety requirements (based on Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC) that are to be
applied by the user.
We hereby declare that the filters are
intended to be incorporated into machinery
within the terms of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
It is prohibited to put the filters into
service until the machinery as a whole is
in conformity with the provisions of the
Machinery Directive. Furthermore, our
Terms of Sale and Delivery are available

4.2 MAINTENANCE, GENERAL
This section describes maintenance
work which must be carried out
periodically. The operational safety
and life expectancy of the filter, and
whether it is ready for use, depend to
a large extent on regular and careful
maintenance.
4.3 MAINTENANCE MEASURES
zzSpare parts must fulfil the technical
requirements specified by the
manufacturer.
zzThis is always guaranteed for original
HYDAC spare parts.
zzTools, working area and equipment
are to be kept clean.
zzAfter disassembling the filter,
clean all parts, check for damage or
wear and replace parts if necessary.
zzWhen changing a filter element,
a high level of cleanliness must be
observed!
4.4 INTERVAL BETWEEN ELEMENT
CHANGES
When the filter is due to be changed,
the colour changes reliably from red to
light orange.
NOTE
The information in this brochure
