Oil Supply to Centrifuge
Oil supply should, in general, be taken from the highest
pressure, hottest source available on the dirty side of the
full-flow oil filter. A 3⁄4-in. pipe or #12 hose supply line
should be used with a full-opening ball valve installed
at the centrifuge oil inlet so that the unit can be isolated
for service without shutting down the engine. Preferred
pressure is 60 to 80 psig but the Spinner II centrifuge
will operate efficiently at 40 to 90 psig. Below 35 psig,
an internal idle cut-out valve closes to prevent low oil
pressure during low-speed operation.
Clean Oil Return to Sump
Level Control Base (LCB) — Preferred
The air-operated control in the Part No. 71602 LCB permits
the Spinner II centrifuge to be installed on the frame rail,
base plate or deck in any convenient location near the
engine, above or below the sump oil level. The clean oil
drain line to the sump should be 11⁄2-in. diameter minimum
unrestricted hose or pipe to a 11⁄2-in. connection located
above oil level if possible — alternate oil-fill openings or
drilled-and-tapped holes in crankcase doors are possibili-
ties. Below-oil-level return drain requires that a 11⁄2-in. low
opening pressure check valve be located at the LCB oil
discharge to prevent back-flow when the centrifuge is
being serviced. Only check valves are permitted in the
drain line — shut-off valves must never be used.
Control Air Supply. The control in the LCB maintains
the proper oil level for maximum centrifuge speed and
efficiency. Compressed air to operate the LCB may be
obtained from any 2 to 125 psi unregulated air source,
as .15 SCFM is minimal. Any inlet pressure exceeding
125 psi must be regulated using P/N 71050. This regulator
should be installed as shown, with a 1⁄4-in. air line con-
nected to it using liquid sealant on threaded connections.
In the absence of compressed air, it may be possible to
use bleed air from the engine turbocharger or air from a
positive displacement scavenging blower. This requires
modifying the LCB for low-pressure operation. Remove
regulator P/N 71050 and connect air supply directly into
cartridge P/N 71603. This revised P/N 71603 is marked
with wide band on hex. Use of 71246 Pre-Filter is
recommended.
Assemble Spinner II unit with Part No. 70916 Seal to
Level Control Base. Install Regulator. See parts list on
opposite page.
Using Gravity Drain — Engine Mounted Only — For
gravity drain without the Level Control Base, the Spinner II
centrifuge must be close-coupled to the sump with an
unrestricted 4-in. drain returning above the normal sump
oil level. The drain line must be sloped downward from the
centrifuge outlet and be free of sharp bends or traps. On
many engines, a crankcase door can be modified to pro-
vide a suitable drain opening as well as sturdy mechani-
cal support. Be sure the sump side of the drain opening is
clear and that the drain oil does not impinge on moving
parts of the engine.
Mechanical Considerations
Spinner II centrifuges are high-speed devices and should
be securely mounted to prevent excessive vibration.
Operation up to 10 degrees from vertical is permitted.

1. Shut off control air. Shut off oil supply (or stop engine)
and allow centrifuge turbine assembly to come to a
complete stop, drain and cool. CAUTION: Open safety
drain cock on side of Level Control Base (if equipped)
to be certain that unit is not pressurized. If cock is under
pressure, locate the source and remove before pro-
ceeding. Check for shut-off valves in the oil drain line
and remove if found.
2. Remove cover clamp, unscrew cover nut and remove
cover assembly.
3. Partially withdraw centrifuge turbine assembly from
the housing and allow oil to drain from nozzles before
removing completely. Carefully separate centrifuge
bowl from turbine by unscrewing jacking nut. (An
optional kit, Part No. 71710, is available to facilitate
disassembly and cleaning.) Remove stand tube.
4. Carefully remove sludge from bowl and turbine using
a wooden spatula or other non-damaging tool. Wipe
out centrifuge bowl and turbine with solvent and wash
stand tube and other parts.
5. Clean and examine top and bottom bushings for
excessive wear. Replace bearing tube assembly, Part
No. 70197, if diameters exceed 0.814-in. (20.68 mm) top
or 1.315-in. (33.39 mm) bottom. Check turbine nozzles to
ensure free passage of oil. Inspect centrifuge turbine
seal and replace if damaged. The seal is Viton and
can be reused several times.
6. Seat stand tube in turbine and reassemble centrifuge
making sure that large and small dowel pins in turbine
align with matching holes in bowl as jacking nut is
tightened. Continue tightening until bowl is seated
snugly on turbine. Do not exceed 74 lb-ft torque on the
jacking nut Part No. 70545.
7. Examine spindle journals for damage or excessive
wear. Replace base assembly (complete with spindle) if
diameter is less than 0.810-in. (20.57 mm) top or 1.309-in.
(33.26 mm) bottom. Spindle is assembled to base and
aligned at the factory and cannot be properly serviced
in the field.
18. If Level Control Base is used: check control mecha-
nism by using a thin wire with a hook formed on one
end to engage float arm on bracket side. Raise float.
Air should flow into control mechanism. Air flow
should stop when float is lowered. If air control is
defective it must be repaired using Part No. 71603 (air
valve cartridge kit) or Part No. 71609 (float assembly
kit), following the instructions in the kits.
19. Replace centrifuge turbine assembly on spindle,
being careful of the bushings. Be sure it rotates freely.
10. Clean and inspect cover, paying special attention to
cover nut assembly. The seal, PN 70971, should be
replaced if it shows signs of leaking. Note: to disas-
semble, remove roll pin and the collar from the top
and withdraw the nut from the bottom.
11. Clean and examine the base-to-cover seal and
replace if damaged. The seal is Viton and can be
reused several times.
12. Replace cover assembly and tighten cover nut securely
by hand pressure only. Make sure that cover seats on
base assembly evenly all around so that cover seal is
properly compressed. Replace cover-to-base clamp and
tighten the clamp nut securely by hand. Check all cen-
trifuge and LCB mounting bolts for proper tightness.
13. Close safety drain cock on LCB. Open air supply and
oil supply to centrifuge. With engine running, check
all connections and joints for leaks. Repeat assembly
if vibration is excessive.
Note: All centrifuge turbines are correctly balanced
before leaving the factory. An out-of-balance condition
can occur as a result of uneven build-up of sludge in the
bowl or as a result of excessive bearing or spindle jour-
nal wear. Depending on conditions, wear will eventually
take place on the spindle and bearings which will
require replacement of the appropriate assemblies.
