OF5F / OF5L Preparing the OF5 for operation
Preparing the OF5 for operation
Consult and observe the following chapter in order to prepare the OF5 for operation.
Inserting the filter element
The unit has no filter element installed upon delivery from the factory. Prior to start
up, check to see whether a filter element is contained in the filter housing.
Information on changing a filter element can be found on page 26.
Hanging / connecting the suction hose
NOTICE
Severe contamination
The unit will be destroyed
►Do not prime directly at the bottom of the tank (in the sump).
The greatest contamination is found on the bottom of the tank. All
impurities and other particles are deposited on the bottom of the tank.
Pull the suction hose (thick hose) with lance out of the mounting in the floor plate.
Put the suction hose with lance, without tension and or twist, into the appropriate
container and secure it.
Hanging / connecting the pressure hose
Pull out the pressure hose (thin hose) with lance from the mounting in the floor plate
and insert it in the appropriate receptacle.
Put the pressure hose with lance, without tension and or twist, into the appropriate
container and secure it.
To prevent air from entering the medium, make sure that the pressure
hose with lance is always below the oil level in operation.

OF5F / OF5L Preparing the OF5 for operation
Electrical connection of the OF5
Check or compare the local mains voltage and frequency specifications with the
specifications on the type label of the unit.
Plug the power plug of the OF5 into a suitable power outlet.
The unit has a motor protection switch in the on / off switch. If the nominal current is
exceeded, the motor protection switch trips.
Checking the direction of rotation
Check the direction of rotation of the motor by switching it on briefly (jog mode). An
arrow on the fan cover shows the correct direction of rotation for the unit.
If the direction of rotation is opposite to the direction of the arrow, correct it using the
phase inverter contained in the connection plug, as shown in the diagram below.

OF5F / OF5L Switching on the OF 5
Switching on the OF 5
After switching on the OF5, monitor the suction action via the transparent suction
hose.
If the unit is not feeding medium after several minutes of operation, the pump must
be pre-filled. Switch the motor off and fill the pump via the suction hose.
The special element receptacle renders it unnecessary to vent the filter housing.
Pay particular attention to the clogging indicator during operation. As soon as the
clogging indicator enters the red zone, the filter element must be changed
immediately.
The pressure relief valve in the pump returns the medium to the suction side if the
maximum operating pressure is exceeded.
The motor protection switch contained in the main switch permanently monitors the
nominal current and switches the unit off in case of overload.
