9. Operation
CAUTION
Danger resulting from 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.
Inaccuracte measurement results
Incorrect measurements
›
The measured values from the first five minutes should not be taken into account, as the particle counter needs
to initialize, and the hydraulic circuit must stabilize (air bubbles, flushing, etc.).
›
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.
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
›
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 to the appropriate brackets at the filter unit.
9.1
Filtering of hydraulic fluids with 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.
