Replacing the filter element on the oil mist separator
Proceed as follows to replace the filter element on the oil mist separator:
1. Stop automatic mode. Afterwards, wait
≈ 1 minute,
until normal pressure (ambient pressure) has been
established in the vacuum chamber.
2. Rotate the separator pot (2) 1/8th of a turn to the
left (bayonet seal) and remove from the bottom.
3. Turn the used filter element clockwise to remove
and dispose of it in an environmentally correct
manner. (The element shown here may vary

Insert the filter element and screw it into the
separator head by turning it counterclockwise.
Do not use any tools to dismantle or install the
filter element.
4. Insert the separator pot (2) into the separator head
