2.1 General references
›If oil has leaked out for any reason, immediately close off the oil covered area and cover it with an oil-binding medium
(danger of slipping / skidding).
›When using hydraulic or lubricating oils of low conductivity, there is a risk of static charging. Consult the manufacturer in this case.
›With UMP 045: The measuring values of the first 5 minutes should not be considered as the particle counter initializes and the
hydraulic circuit must stabilize (air bubbles, flushing etc.).

›The operating instructions must remain with the filter unit UM 045 / UMP 045 throughout the life time of the
unit and be available at all times, even though the unit may change hands.
WARNING
2.6 Do not use or store the device
›In rain or in a damp or wet environment.
›Near flammable liquids or gasses.
2.7 Transport
›Wear safety shoes and safety gloves
›During transport, fix the suction and pressure hoses in the holders provided on the frame to prevent the loss of residual oil from
hoses.
›If mobile transporting aids are used, make sure that the unit is stable (tilting danger).
›Do not use stairways or higher pitches
›When situating the unit, look out for a secure position (tilting danger).
›Only lift by crane and approved belts or ropes (empty weight of the unit: UM 045 ca.75 kg or UMP 045 ca. 82 kg resp.).
2.8 Mains connection
›The mains voltage must always match the voltage shown on the nameplate (motor).
›The direction of rotation of the motor must match the direction of rotation arrow on the motor housing
(check this point every time you switch on the unit) (only with 3-phase motor).
›The power source must be suitable and correctly protected by fuses (see page 13).
›Line cross-sections must be adequately dimensioned.
›The cable and connection for power supply must be in perfect condition.
2.9 Essential points to note before commissioning the filter unit
›The operating conditions must be strictly observed.
›The operating instructions have to be read thoroughly.
›The unit must be positioned securely enough and must be free of vibrations (stability, tilting danger).
›Cables and hoses must not be placed in areas where operating staff move around (danger of tripping over).
›When using the hoses during unsupervised operation, make sure that they cannot fall out of the tank.
›The suction and delivery pipes must be immersed far enough under the fluid level so that no air can be sucked in
(suction of air can lead to malfunction).
›If no air is drawn in during the start-up procedure, open the filter housing cover and pour in about 0.5 liters of oil.
›The oil must be compatible with the hydraulic fluid from previous filtrations. If not, the filter unit must be cleaned and the filter
element must be changed.
›The cover of the filter housing must be correctly sealed. If necessary, screw in the cover manually as far as the limit stop. A gap
between the cover and the housing may remain visible.
›With UMP 045: The hydraulic fluid must be free from water
(no oil clouding measuring values can be adulterated by free water in the oil).

2.10 With UMP 045: Installation of the particle counter PODS pro
›Do not operate the particle counter without return hose. The tank of the particle counter holds a return flow
capacity of max. 8 measurements.
›Danger to the environment by spilling oil.
WARNING
›Disassemble the return flow tank and the hose (item 2) as well as the bottle adapter (item 3) from the particle counter (item 1)
(see illustration 1).

2.11 On start up check
›If the filter unit is tight / sealed.
›If the direction of rotation of the motor matches the direction of rotation arrow on the motor housing. If not, only allow specialized
staff to invert the phases (only with 3-phase motor).
›De-aeration of the unit: To ventilate the unit automatically, release the black cap at the ventilating valve (see page 9),
but do not unscrew it.
By means of manual de-aeration (red cap), the ventilating valve can be checked. With activation, oil must escape within a short time.
By this check-up you additionally prevent jamming of the float valve.
2.12 If there is an unexpected power failure, it is essential to note these points
›Switch off the unit or disconnect from the mains supply to prevent the possibility of subsequent damage to the environment and /
or people when the power returns.
→ Possible subsequent damage: - oil may overflow
- danger of slipping on leaked oil

4. How to operate the filter unit
›The filter unit is equipped with a suction strainer on the suction side, which has to be maintained regularly
(see page 9, item 18).
›A defective or missing suction strainer can lead to pump damage.
WARNING
›Wear safety gloves, safety shoes and protective goggles.
4.1 Filtering hydraulic fluids in the by-pass flow (note safety instructions)
›Connect and fix the filter unit as described under point 2 (with 3 phase motors please observe the rotating direction).
›Immerse the suction pipe and the delivery pipe into the hydraulic tank of the machine or plant.
Note: The distance between intake side and delivery side should be kept apart as far as possible to avoid short-circuit of the oil
flow.
›Switch rotary valve to position II (filtering) (see illustration 6).
›Switch on the filter unit by using the on-off switch.
›Check the oil flow (the suction pipe may not be immersed to a sufficient depth in the oil tank).
Note: When starting filtration, filling of the filter unit may take a few seconds.
›Check the element for clogging, using the clogging indicator.
›At the end of filtration, switch the rotary valve to position I (pumping). Pull the suction pipe out of the hydraulic tank of the
machine or plant and draw in air for max. 30 seconds. Residual oil from the filter unit will be returned via delivery pipe into the
hydraulic tank of the machine or plant.
›Switch off the filter unit by using the on-off switch.
