Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AT Z-1172 hydraulic filter designed to do?
A: The AT Z-1172 is an OEM hydraulic filter for Atlas Zenith Type 9 manual pallet jacks. It removes particulate contaminants from hydraulic fluid using steel mesh filtration media, protecting the pump, valves, and cylinders from wear and damage.
Q: Which Atlas models require the AT Z-1172 filter?
A: The AT Z-1172 is compatible with Atlas Zenith Type 9 manual pallet jack hydraulic units. Confirm your pallet jack model and hydraulic unit generation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What filtration media material does this filter use?
A: The AT Z-1172 uses steel mesh filtration media. Steel mesh provides consistent micron rating, resists hydraulic fluid degradation, and allows for effective contaminant removal without restricting flow rates in the hydraulic circuit.
Q: How often should the AT Z-1172 filter be replaced?
A: Replace the filter when you observe reduced lift speed, increased operating pressure, discolored or contaminated hydraulic fluid, or if the pallet jack requires more effort to operate. Typical replacement intervals range from 200 to 500 operating hours, depending on work environment cleanliness and duty cycle.
Q: What happens if the AT Z-1172 becomes clogged?
A: A clogged filter restricts hydraulic flow, causing sluggish lift response, reduced lifting speed, and increased strain on the pump. Continued operation with a blocked filter can result in pump cavitation, seal failure, and damage to internal hydraulic components.
