1. Maintenance
1.1 General
Please follow the maintenance instructions.
1.2 Installation
Before installing the filter into the system, check
that the operating pressure of the system does
not exceed the permitted operating pressure of
the filter.
Refer to the type code label on the filter.
Filters must be flexibly mounted and not installed
rigidly to the floor or used as a pipe support.
When installing, ensure that system forces
cannot be transferred to the filter. A filter with
a stand may only be installed to the ground if a
compensator, expansion loop or similar device
installed in the line.
1.3 Commissioning

maximum of 1 rotation. As soon as oil begins
exiting at the vent screws, close them again.
After that, change over to a filter side by
