OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS RH170

Inspection and servicing

Eliminator filter and centrifuge (optional)

Risk of injury due to rotating parts inside the centrifuge.

The rotor of the centrifuge must be stationary.

The pressure in the centrifuge must have disappeared.

Read and observe: "Inspection and servicing - Safety instructions" and the “Moatti Lube Oil Filter Instruction Book”.

The eliminator filter may be hot. Wear protective gloves and firm protective clothing. Collect escaping oil and discard without polluting the environment.

Impurities in the engine oil are filtered out in the eliminator filter (1, Fig. 3-30:).

Most of the cleaned engine oil flows back to the engine after being cleaned.

A small quantity of the engine oil flows in the bypass to the centrifuge (2).

The eliminator filter is self-cleaning and maintenance-free (see “Moatti Lube Oil Filter Instruction Book”).

Centrifuge Servicing:

Engine oil impurities filtered out in the eliminator filters (1, Fig. 3-30:) are transported to the centrifuge (2) where they are filtered out by centrifugal force.

 Shut off engines.

 Wait for 5 - 10 min.

Dismantling the centrifuge

Risk of injury due to rotating parts inside the centrifuge.

The rotor of the centrifuge must be stationary.

The pressure in the centrifuge must have been eliminated.

The rotor may be hot. Wear protective gloves and firm protective clothing.

 Slacken screws (2, Fig. 3-31:).

 Slacken hollow screw (6) and remove together with cover (1).

 Withdraw rotor housing (4) and set down on a timber base.
