OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Inspection and servicing Eliminator filter and centrifuge
Centrifuge Engine oil impurities filtered out in the eliminator filters (1, Fig. 3-24:) are transported to the centrifuge (2) where they are filtered out by centrifugal force.
Read and observe: "Inspection and servicing - Safety instructions" and the Moatti Lube Oil Filter Instruction Book.
Servicing Ü Shut off engines Ü Wait for 5 - 10 min.
Risk of injury from rotating parts in the centrifuge. The eliminator filter may be hot. Wear protective gloves and firm protective clothing.
Dismantling the centrifuge
The rotor of the centrifuge must be stationary.
Collect escaping oil and discard without polluting the environment.

Ü Slacken screws (2, Fig. 3-25:). Ü Slacken hollow screw (6) and remove together with cover (1). Ü Withdraw rotor housing (4) and set down on a timber base. Fig. 3-24:
Ü Unscrew nut (3) and remove rotor housing (4).
Impurities in the engine oil are filtered out in the eliminator filter (1, Fig. 3-24:).
Ü Remove dirt in rotor housing by tapping lightly.
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. (cf. Moatti Lube Oil Filter Instruction Book)
