Centrifuge Lube oil filter

Instruction Manual
• Introduction
The Centrifuge Cleaner cleans your engine oil continuously when your engine is running. It separates
dirt above 1 micron approximately from engine oil thus lowers wear rate of engine components
drastically. It avoids harmful oil degradation and arrests depletion of oil additives increasing the oil
life. The Centrifuge Cleaner does not require any spare parts to be replaced and gives consistent
performance throughout engine oil.
•

Cleaning frequency

For consistent performance, the centrifuge rotor needs to be cleaned periodically as mentioned in
this manual. It is recommended that you service the centrifuge every 250 hours of working or at every
oil change period.
The volume of dirt collected depends upon engine application, loading and environment in which
engine is working. Exact period of servicing the centrifuge can thus vary between 200 hours of
working to your oil change period. Please follow the instructions given below for cleaning of centrifuge
cleaner.

Identification and location

The centrifuge Cleaner is located on the same manifold on which full flow oil filter is mounted. The
centrifuge can be easily identified with a dome shaped cover bearing instruction sticker. The exact
