Installation, commissioning and maintenance
Installation
Verify operating pressure with name plate information.
Screw the filter housing (position 1) to the fastening device
considering the flow direction (direction arrows) and withdraw-
al height of the filter element (position 4).
Remove the plugs from the filter inlet and outlets. Fit the filter
into the pipe work, ensuring that it is fitted free of tension.
Warning!
Assemble and disassemble the filter only when system is depres-
surised!
Vessel is under pressure!
When disassembling the filter, please note that the filter inlet
and the filter outlet need to be emptied separately!
Remove the filter bowl only if it is not pressurised!
Do not replace the clogging indicator while the filter is under
pressure!
Functional and safety warranty only applicable when using
genuine Rexroth spare parts!
Service filter only by trained personnel!
Commissioning
Switch on system pump.
Bleed filter by opening the plug / bleed valve (position 5),
close when operating fluid vents.
Maintenance
If the red indicator pin shows out of the logging indicator and/
or if the switching process in the electric display is triggered,
the filter element is clogged and needs to be replaced or
cleaned respectively.
Filter element replacement
Switch of the operating pump.
Open bleed screw (position 5) and relieve pressure.
Open plug Pos. 10 and drain the contaminated oil from the fil-
ter housing.
Unscrew upper filter part / filter cover (position 3) and pull fil-
ter element from the spigot by rotating it slightly, and remove
the same from the filter housing.
Again close plug Pos. 10.
Replace filter elements H...-XL, P..., clean the filter element
with material G … . The efficiency of the cleaning process de-
pends on the type of contamination and the value of the pres-
sure differential before the filter element was exchanged.
If the pressure differential after replacing the filter element is
more than 50% of the value before replacing the filter element
then the G…. element also needs to be replaced.
Install the cleaned or new filter element into the filter housing
and with light turning movements push it on to the centering
spigot. Beforehand apply some oil to the filter element seal
ring. During installation take care to ensure that the filter ele-
ment is not damaged due to contact on the top edge of the
mantel tube.
Check the seal ring Pos. 7 in the mantel tube for damage or
wear and replace if necessary. Install filter head by rotating it
clock-wise by hand up to the last thread and rotate back 1/4
rotation. Don’t use any tools.
Carry out commissioning as described above.
