OLF-5 Toploader (FAM-xx-x-x-x-10-…) – Changing filter element
Change the filter element as soon as the visual differential pressure gauge is red.
The bayonet mount on the filter element makes changing the filter element easier.
Rotate the filter element 90° clockwise or counterclockwise to separate it from the
element receptacle.
1.
Switch off the power unit at the main switch
and make sure that no fluid can flow out of
the lines into the OLF-5, and make sure that
the FAM cannot be switched on again during
maintenance.
Depressurize the filter housing.
To accomplish this, carefully open the drain
screw (Air Bleed) on the filter housing cover.
Be careful when the operating medium
flows out.
2.
Put a suitable container in place to catch the
medium in the filter housing.
The volume is ~ 6 liters.
Empty the filter housing through the drain
screw (Drain) on the connection part.
Note that without the proper drainage
equipment, the draining fluid can flow down to
the electric motor.
3.
Remove the tensioning clamp on the filter
housing cover by completely removing the
nut.
Remove the housing clamp.
