Warranty, Limitation of Liability
and Remedies
THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT
TO ANY OF THE PRODUCTS, NOR IS THERE ANY OTHER
WARRANTY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED
FOR HEREIN.
For a period of twelve months from the date of delivery from
Seller or three thousand hours of use, whichever occurs first
(the "Warranty Period", Seller warrants that products
manufactured by Seller when properly installed and
maintained, and operated at ratings, specifications and design
conditions, will be free from defects in material and
workmanship. By way of explanation and not limitation, the
Seller does not warrant the service life of the filter element as
this is beyond the Seller's control and depends upon the
condition of the system into which the filter is installed.
Seller's liability under any warranty is limited solely (in Seller's
discretion) to replacing (FOB original ship point), repairing or
issuing credit for products that become defective during the
Warranty Period. Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly in
writing of any claims and provide Seller with an opportunity to
inspect and test the product claimed to be defective. Buyer
shall provide Seller with a copy of the original invoice for the
product, and prepay all freight charges to return any products
to Seller's factory, or other facility designated by Seller. All
claims must be accompanied by full particulars, including
system operating conditions, if applicable.
Seller shall not be liable for any product altered outside of the
Seller's factory except by Seller or Seller's authorized
distributor, and then, as to the latter, only for products which
have been assembled by the distributor in accordance with
Seller's written instructions. Nor shall Seller be liable for a
product subjected to misuse, abuse, improper installation,
application, operation, maintenance or repair, alteration,
accident or negligence in use, storage transportation or
handling.
In no event will Seller be liable for any damages, incidental,
consequential or otherwise, whether arising out of or in
connection with the manufacture, packaging, delivery, storage,
use, misuse, or non use of any of its products or any other
cause whatsoever.

Filter element servicing
During servicing, the external surfaces of the filter assembly
must be cleaned to remove any dust deposits.
Servicing must be conducted using suitable tools that do not
present a hazard.
Servicing must not be carried out when a potentially explosive
atmosphere is present.
Refer to Service Parts List (Section 9) for item numbers for
applicable replacement element series. Remove and replace
element as follows:
7.1
Turn off and depressurize the system.
7.2
Unscrew and remove filter cover assembly (2) from head
assembly (1) counterclockwise when viewed from above.
It may be necessary to use a correct sized wrench on
the hexagon on the filter cover assembly (2) to loosen
the cover initially. Check that the O-rings are not
damaged.
Note: The UT319 series assembly is equipped with Pall’s
'Auto-Pull' element extraction mechanism to facilitate element
removal. While removing the cap, tabs on the element endcap
lock into hooks in the cap and the element is automatically
pulled from the nipple.
7.3
Remove filter element (8) and carefully inspect the
surface for visible contamination. Normally no dirt
should show, but visible dirt or particles can be an early
warning of system component failure. Discard both the
filter element and its O-rings. The filter element is not
CLEANABLE. Any attempt to clean the filter element can
cause degradation of the filter medium and allow
contaminated fluid to pass through the filter element.
7.4
DO NOT run the system without a filter element
installed. Use replacement filter element part number
called for on the element change label.
7.5
Lubricate the element O-rings with clean system fluid
and install element in the Shroud-Shell subassembly (3).
Refit the Cover Sub-assembly (2). Hand tighten ONLY.
7.6
After starting the system check for leaks as per section
5.2. When system reaches normal operating
temperature, check that the electrical switch has not
actuated and/or the pressure gauge shows pressure in
the normal operating range.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO DEPRESSURISE THE FILTER BEFORE
SERVICING ELEMENT COULD RESULT IN
EXPLOSIVE LOSS OF FLUID, DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR RE-USE THE
ELEMENT.
ONLY USE GENUINE PALL REPLACEMENT FILTER
ELEMENTS. USE OF SUBSTITUTE ELEMENTS MAY
INVALIDATE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
CAUTION:
Filter elements should be replaced upon indication or
at specified intervals, six months maximum. Failure to
change the element will cause the filter to go on
bypass.
