Every week or other interval 

based on experience for the 

actual application.

Visually check the filter panels for damages. (See also 

section 7.3)

Every week or other interval 

based on experience for the 

actual application.

Inspect the inside of the filter for larger pieces of debris 

which cannot be removed by the rinse water system and 

check the sludge trough for any accumulated sludge. 

Remove this debris manually and hose down the sludge  

trough if sludge accumulates.

     WARNING!

 Set the safety switch to OFF (0) and 

lock it in the OFF position by means of a padlock before 

starting any work on the filter.

Every week or other interval 

based on experience for the 

actual application.

Grease the ball bearings in the support wheels with 

grease type NLGI:2 Grease: Molykote Multilub, 

Rembrandt EP or equivalent grease.

Every 2nd week at continuous 

operation.

Wash the surface of the stainless steel constructions with 

clean water. Especially in salt water systems, keeping 

surfaces free of contamination minimizes corrosion.

Every 2nd week or other 

interval based on experience for 

the actual application.

Grease the centre bearings (see section 7.2.1) with 

grease type NLGI:2. 
(Grease : Molykote Multilub, Rembrandt EP or 

equivalent)

Every 2nd week at continuous 

operation.

Check the drive chain tension.

Every 6th month.

Visually check the drive chain for damages

Every 6th month.

Grease the chain with Pinus N68 or equivalent chain oil.

Every 6th month.

Check the inlet rubber sealing between the filter frame 

and the drum, for wear / damage.

Every year.

Visually check the support wheel bearings for 

exceptional wear

Every year.

Check if the nozzles are worn out. Change if necessary 

(see 

7.1.2

).

Every year or other interval 

based on experience for the 

actual application. 

Change the gearbox oil.
Oil type: ISO viscosity VG 680 (e.g. Omala oil 680 (Shell) 

or equivalent).
