Starting up the FT5
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.
Instructions are given under chapter "Changing Filter element"
Pre-filling the pump
If after approx. 2 minutes the unit does convey any fluid, switch the motor off and fill the
unit using the suction hose.
Venting the filter housing
If the unit has started and is pumping properly, the filter housing has to be vented. 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. As
soon as oil leaks out, retighten the plug.
Entlüftungsschraube
Vent each time the filter housing has run dry: after every filter element change, and
probably after a lengthy shutdown as well.
