Operation and maintenance manual for
Hydrotech Discfilter HSF31-series
7.3.1.Change.the.filter.panels
1. Set the safety switch to OFF and lock
it in the OFF position by means of a
padlock.
2. Loosen the screw of the filter element
holder without unscrewing it totally.
Turn the holder 90° and remove the
frame and the filter element.
3. Place a new filter element against the
guide pins. Hold the filter element with
one hand, insert the frame and press
it to the filter element. Turn back
filter element holder so the trace fits
on the frame.
4. Adjust the frame so it fits inside the
edges of the filter element. Tighten the
screw to the bottom.
It is important to keep the balance
of the disc when changing filter
panels. Never remove all panels
on one side of the disc. Instead
every second panel should be
removed. This will prevent
unintentional rotation of the filter
drum and also reduce the load
on the drive chain and the
gearbox.
