WARNING
Heavily contaminated air oil removing devices lead
to increased pump temperatures and in extreme
cases may cause the lubricating oil to ignite spon-
taneously.
The oil separator elements (V-VC 40/50/75
¦
3x,
V-VC 100/150
¦
4x) can become contaminated by
dust particles after they have been running for some
time (power consumption and pump temperature in-
crease). Replace these components (Fig. 7/L) every
2000 operating hours or when the filter resistance is
0.7 bar (see pressure gauge
¦
Accessories, Check-
ing with short term, atmospheric suction) because it
is not possible to clean them.
Reduce the change intervals accordingly depending
on how contaminated the discharged medium is.
Changing: Undo the air oil removers (Fig. 7/L) with a
ring spanner (spanner width 19 mm or 3/4”) rotating
counter clockwise. Insert new air oil removers with
the open lock symbol (see Fig. 8) with the arrow
on the insert and fix turning clockwise (until it clicks
into place).
