Cleaning The Centrifugal Oil Cleaner - Scania PDE Operator's Manual

Cleaning the centrifugal oil
cleaner
When cleaning the centrifugal oil cleaner there
will be some dirt deposits in the rotor cover. If
this is the case, this indicates that the rotor is
working. If it is not working, the cause must be
established immediately.
If the dirt deposit exceeds 28 mm at the recom-
mended intervals, the rotor cover should be
cleaned more often.
WARNING!
The oil may be hot. Carefully remove the cover
from the centrifugal oil cleaner.
1.
Clean the cover. Unscrew the nut securing
the outer cover.
2.
Let the oil run out from the rotor.
3.
Lift out the rotor. Wipe off the outside. Undo
the rotor nut and unscrew it about 1.5 turns to
protect the bearing.
Note:
Take care not to damage the rotor shaft.
4.
If the rotor nut is difficult to get loose, turn
the rotor upside down and fasten the rotor nut
in a vice. Turn the rotor counterclockwise
1.5 turns by hand or use an M20 nut, see il-
lustration.
IMPORTANT!
The rotor must not be put in a vice. Never strike
the rotor cover. This may cause damage resulting
in imbalance.
