6. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Oil enters the filter through the inlet connection by means of the machine system pressure.
Oil is then flowing from the outside through the filter element, which captures
contaminants. The filtered oil exits the filter through the outlet connection.

7. INSTALLING AND COMMISSIONING
Before installation, make sure that all components are in proper
condition and that all required parts are at the installation site.
7.1. Transporting and storing
Follow these guidelines for transporting and storing:
•Keep the device away from excessive temperature variations and corrosive
chemicals.
•Keep the device and accessories dry.
•The device must be kept safe from mechanical effects, such as hits and excessive
static loads. Their transport must be performed without deforming or damaging the
device or its packaging.
•When transported the device/packaging must be secured in a fixed position and
should not be transported together with sharp objects.
7.2. Precautions
When installing the system, pay special attention to the following:
•Installation base shall be level and even.
•Supporting bracket or piping may not cause any stresses on the filter (twisting,
pulling, etc.).
•Sufficient space is available for installation work (Cf. Installation Drawing).
•All screws and connections are properly tightened according to manufacturer’s
specifications.
•If filtered fluid has high viscosity, provide the filter with thermal insulation and use
extraheating for the fluid as necessary (consult manufacturer).

9. MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM
Always use proper tools and lifting devices with sufficient capacity.
Replace damaged or defective equipment or lifting devices without delay
There is hot fluid inside the device, and the outer surfaces of the device
also become hot. Do not touch the device or attempt to open the filter
without proper protection.
Do not change any settings of the system unless instructions are
provided in the manual or without authorization from the manufacturer.
Never exceed any of the pressure values given by the manufacturer.
All parts replaced in relation with maintenance or repairs shall be original
spare parts.
Remember the following notes and warnings concerning pressurized
fluids:
•Components and hoses contain high-pressure oil
•High-pressure oil sprays can penetrate the skin and cause severe internal damage. In
case of an accident, contact medical support without delay.
•Oil is hot and will cause burns on the skin.
•High-pressure oil leaks are not necessarily visible. Do not examine the system for leaks
with bare hands, use a piece of cardboard or other equivalent material.
•Before any connections are opened, the system must be relieved of pressure.
•Clean all connections and components in conjunction with maintenance work.
•Check all connections for tightness.
