Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 070550 breather component used for?
A: The CR 070550 is a breather component designed for Crown PE4500 and PE4000 series electric lift trucks. It enables air exchange and filtration for the hydraulic reservoir, maintaining proper pressure equalization and protecting hydraulic fluid from contamination and moisture.
Q: Which Crown pallet jack models does the CR 070550 fit?
A: The CR 070550 fits Crown PE4500 series and Crown PE4000 series end control pallet rider electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment model number before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What is the part number for this breather?
A: The part number is CR 070550. This is identified as item 11 on Crown PE4500 series technical parts diagrams and is the direct replacement component for these lift trucks.
Q: Why is a breather component critical for hydraulic systems?
A: The breather allows the hydraulic reservoir to maintain proper atmospheric pressure as fluid levels change during operation. Without adequate air exchange, vacuum conditions can develop, reducing pump efficiency and potentially causing seal failure. The breather also filters incoming air to prevent moisture and contaminant ingress into the hydraulic fluid.
Q: What maintenance is required for this breather?
A: The breather element should be visually inspected periodically for dirt accumulation or damage. If the element appears saturated or contaminated, it should be replaced. Check that the breather is securely mounted to the reservoir to prevent air leaks around the seal.
