d) Cleaning
Never clean the filter element: always install a new one equipped with 2
rings.
During disassembly, if the filter element appears very clogged, filled with condensable products or gels,
or is filled with very blackish, strong-smelling oil, it is then necessary to check the quality of the pump oil.
It probably needs to be changed. In this case, drain the pump, replace the oil before installing an oil mist
eliminator equipped with a new filter element.
Elastomer seal (9) must alway be replaced by new one.
After use in mineral or synthetic oil, clean the metal components with a mineral products based
solvent such a AXAREL (1), CARECLEAN (2), PREMACLEAN (3), NAPHTESOL (4). Proceed as follows:
• Clean when cold or hot (max. 45 °C) by dipping or using a cloth.
• Vacuum dry in a ventilated oven.
• The component must be cleaned a second time with alcohol.
After use in (perfluorinate) synthetic oil, clean the metal components in a solvent such as
GALDEN S 90 (5) and proceed as follows:
• Clean when cold by dipping or using a cloth.
• Dry the components in the air or with compressed air.
After use in (non-perfluorinate) synthetic or minetal oil, clean the metal components with a solvent
such as alcohol and proceed as follows:
• Clean when cold by dipping or using a cloth.
• Dry the components in the air.
• Industrial washing solutions can also be used. The cleaning operation should be followed by
vacuum drying.
e) Reassembly
• Position the new o-ring (9) in the lower support (2).
• Install the washer (15) on a new valve (16).
• Position on the valve seat (14) the valve (16) and its washer
(15) (the valve flat face must rest on the valve seat).
• Install the spring (19) on the washer (15), then assemble the
spring support (18) on the valve seat (14) with screws (17) and
washers (20).
• Center the set on a new filter element (21).
(OME 25HP+ filter element is equipped with 2 o-rings).
• Install the set in the lower support (2), by aligning the spring support (18) in the axis of the fixing
holes of the body (1).
• Install the body (1) on the lower support (2) and assemble with the screws (22) and washers (23),
from underneath, without returning the set.
• Connect the eliminator to the pump exhaust port and install the oil kit if necessary (see paragraph
II.5.).
