9. Operation
CAUTION
Exposure to spilled oil
Injury / risk of slipping
If oil leaks, the oil-covered area must be shut of immediately and covered with an oil binding medium (risk of
slipping).
Static charge
Sparking
There is a risk of static charge when using poorly conducting hydraulic or lubricating oils.
In this case, please consult the manufacturer.
NOTE
Damage to the filter unit by missing or defective suction strainer.
Property damage.
The strainer must be regularly checked according to the maintenance intervals and replaced if necessary.
The filter unit is provided with a protective strainer at the suction side, which has to be serviced regularly.
A missing protective strainer may lead to destruction of the pump. (Order No. see spare parts list)
If the protective strainer is removed, the manufacturer will resume no liability.
9.1
Filtering hydraulic fluids when refilling
1. Connect the filter unit to a power source.
2. Place the suction strainer into the oil drum.
3. Place the discharge pipe into a container (e.g. hydraulic tank).
NOTE
Faulty insertion of the discharge pipe
Make sure that the discharge pipe is below the liquid surface.
4. Turn the filter unit on at the on/off switch (circuit breaker).
5. Check the oil flow on possibly insufficient immersion depth of the suction pipe in the oil tank.
NOTE
Faulty insertion of the discharge pipe
At the beginning of the filtration, filling of the filter unit may take a few seconds.
6. Using the clogging indicator, check the element for clogging at operating temperature of the medium used.
7. Check the filling level at the machine or system and turn off the filter unit at the circuit breaker, once the desired filling
quantity has been reached.
8. Re-attach the suction strainer and the discharge pipe at the appropriate brackets at the filter unit.
