Overview — 301-6868
Overview

Applicable Models & Applications
These filtration units fit the machines and systems that carry the referenced circuit, including Caterpillar equipment where applicable. The element protects the downstream components by trapping wear particles, fuel, oil or air contaminants before they enter the protected system. Suitable for the corresponding machine model and configuration — please verify the machine model, serial number and part number match before ordering.
Maintenance & Replacement
Replace every 250-500 operating hours, or follow the machine maker's own schedule; shorten the interval in dusty, humid or high-debris work and inspect the seal, housing and element at every service. Early signs it may need attention: A clogged element raises restriction and pressure drop, which starves the system; A collapsing or split element lets unfiltered media and dirt straight into the circuit; Contaminated bypass fluid shows up as scored surfaces and premature wear on nearby components.
Installation Essentials
Work on a clean machine with the engine off and the relevant system drained or depressurised as required, and confirm the part number against your machine model and serial number before ordering. Seat and torque the housing the way the manual says, then run the machine and re-check for leaks. After installation, run the machine and check for leaks, unusual noise or abnormal travel before returning it to service, and retighten where the manual calls for it after the first hours of operation.

The reference price for this Filter (listed under 301-6868) is approximately USD 5 – 15 per unit, depending on configuration, quantity and shipping destination. This is an estimate for planning purposes — please confirm current pricing and availability with our sales team before ordering.
