Filtromat – OF5 C
4
Starting up the OF5 C
4.1
Inserting the filter element
When the filter unit is delivered, the filter element required is delivered in a separate
package. The filter element must be installed first.
Proceed according to chapter 5.1 "Replacing the filter element"
4.2
Filling the pump
If the unit is not feeding medium after several minutes of operation, the pump must
be pre-filled. Switch the motor off and fill using the suction hose.
4.3
Venting the filter housing
If the unit has started and is pumping properly, the filter housing has to be vented.
While the pump is running, loosen the vent plug (A) in the cover plate of the filter
housing. Open the cover plate only far enough to allow the air to vent from the filter
housing. As soon as oil leaks out, tighten the plug.
(A)
Vent each time the filter housing has run dry: after every filter element change, and
probably after a lengthy shutdown as well.
