The filtration unit will be damaged

u Before starting it up, put the filter unit on a stable, horizon-tal surface.

5.1 Increasing the stability / adjusting the feet

1x Allen wrench = 2 mm

For transportation and logistics reasons, the filter unit is deliv-ered with the feet set in parallel. If required and to increase thestability, both feet can be shifted by 22° (2x22° = 44°) towardsthe outside and locked.

By shifting the feet, the stability is increased and the dimen-sions are changed.

NOTICEFeet in other positions such as 0° or 44°

The feet twist / the filter unit tips

u To shift both feet, only use the intended positions for thefeet and lock them subsequently.



Fig. 14: Adjusting the feet 0°->44°

To adjust the two feet from 0° to 44°, proceed as follows:

1. Fully unscrew both screws counterclockwise with anAllen key.

2. Rotate the foot ≈ 22° outwards so that the boreholes inthe foot can be recognized in the other tapped bore atthe 22° position in the filter head.

3. Rotate the two screws clockwise into the other threadedholes (position 22°) and tighten them securely with a3 Nm torque.NOTICE! Ensure that the screws are located fully in-side the threaded holes. If the screws protrude out ofthe hole, the position has not been chosen correctly.Select the right position using the hole in the foot.

O The adjustment of the feet from 0° to 44° is completed.



Fig. 15: Adjusting the feet 44°->0°

To adjust the two feet from 44° to 0°, proceed as follows:

4. Fully unscrew both screws counterclockwise with anAllen key.

5. Rotate the foot ≈ 22° inwards so that the boreholes inthe foot can be recognized in the other tapped bore atthe 0° position in the filter head.

6. Rotate the two screws clockwise into the other threadedholes (position 22°) and tighten them securely with a3 Nm torque.NOTICE! Ensure that the screws are located fully in-side the threaded holes. If the screws protrude out ofthe hole, the position has not been chosen correctly.Select the right position using the hole in the foot.

O The adjustment of the feet from 44° to 0° is completed.



5.2 Avoiding siphoningIf there is a height difference (ΔH) between the suction sideand pressure side container/system, the lower line can developa suction effect and trigger the siphoning effect between thecommunicating containers/systems. This siphoning effect alsooccurs when fluid is pumped in a pre-pressurized reservoir.

Fig. 16: Avoiding siphoning

NOTICESiphoning effect

Reservoir overflowing/leaking = oil spill

u Remove the ends of the hoses from the reservoir after op-eration or shut the shut-off device in the suction line.

After the filter unit is switched off, the height difference/primarypressure can cause flow to occur both in the feed direction andagainst the feed direction and the fluid can leak uncontrollably.



5.3 Avoiding the mixing of oils - Emptying the filter unitIf you want to use the same oil for operation as in the previousoperation, it is not serious if the oils are mixed.

If you do not know which oil was previously filtered with the fil-ter unit, replace the filter element and empty the filter unit com-pletely in order to prevent mixing with the residual oil in the fil-ter unit.

If different oils are mixed, the oil properties can change as fol-lows:

– Higher risk of cavitation

– More seal wear

– Modified anti-wear properties

– Poorer filtration

– Reduced filter element service lives

– Modified friction characteristics

– Modified response to water

– More deposits due to additive reactions

– More system contamination due to dissolved deposits

– Modified water/air uptake and output properties

– Greater tendency to foam



5.4 Making the electrical connectionsDepending on the version, the filter unit has different drive mo-tors (different voltage / output / number of phases, etc.). Followthe instructions in the next section to electrically connect the fil-ter unit.

DANGERDangerous electrical voltage warning

Danger of fatal injury

u All electrical jobs must be carried out by specialists withthe respective knowledge for the job.

u Pull the power plug and ensure the unit is deenergized.

In the case of single phase electric motors, the capacitor cantemporarily remain charged, which results in stored residualenergy, even when the filter unit is switched off at the mainswitch. Discharge every connection before you touch a con-nection/terminal.

Only for MFU-15E For protection against opening the terminal box by unautho-rized persons, there is a screw that adheres to the terminal boxlid.

5.4.1 Connecting filter units with 120/230 V AC or 12/24V DC, single phaseFor the 120/230 V AC or 12/24 V DC version, the filter unit issupplied ready to be just plugged in.

1. Remove the connector cable from its holder and unwindit completely.

2. Before plugging in the power plug, make sure that theon/off switch is in the 0 or OFF position.



3. Check that the voltage and frequency are correct. Youwill find the filter unit's electrical data on the electric mo-tor's name plate.

4. Plug the power plug into a suitable power outlet.

5. Switch the filter unit on or off using the switch on the mo-tor terminal box.

Depending on the version, the filter unit has thermal protectionin the motor windings and a motor protection switch in thejunction box to protect it from electrical overload.



5.4.2 Connecting filter units with 400 V AC, 3 phaseThe 400 V AC, 3 phase version of the filter unit is equippedwith an on/off switch, motor protection and connection plug;connect the filter unit in accordance with the following steps.

1. Remove the connector cable from its holder and unwindit completely.

2. Before plugging in the power plug, make sure that themain switch is in the 0 or OFF position.

3. Check that the voltage and frequency are correct. Youwill find the filter unit's electrical data on the electric mo-tor's name plate.

4. Plug the power plug into a suitable power outlet.

5. Check the direction of rotation of the electric motor byswitching it on briefly (jog mode). The direction of rota-tion required is indicated by an arrow on the fan cover.

6. If the direction of rotation needs to be changed, this canbe done by turning the phase inverter in the connectionplug as per the adjacent figure.

7. Switch on or off the filter unit at the main switch.

Depending on the version, the filter unit has thermal protectionin the motor windings and a motor protection switch in thejunction box to protect it from electrical overload.



5.5 Connecting pneumatically (Option - Compressedair motor)When using the design with compressed air motor, connect thecompressed air line to the filter unit. To ensure a constant flow,ensure that the compressed air supply is at 5 … 7 bar.

NOTICEPressure connection without shut-off device

The filter unit starts pumping

u Install a shut-off device in the feed-line to switch the filterunit on/off.



5.6 Connecting the suction/pressure portTake into account the pressure loss when connecting suction/pressure hoses. The suction / pressure hoses from the filterunit Accessories list [} 92] are matched to the filter unit.

The pressure loss in a hydraulic line depends upon:

– Flow

– Kinematic viscosity

– Pipe dimensions

– Fluid density

The pressure loss can be estimated as follows for mineral oil-based hydraulic oils:

Fig. 17: Pressure loss formula

Δp Pressure differential [bar]L Line length [m]d Internal pipe diameter [mm]Q Flow [l/min]ν Kinematic viscosity [mm²/s]D Density [kg/dm³]

The mineral oil-based hydraulic oil has a density of ≈ 0.9 kg/dm³.

This formula applies to straight pipe runs. Particularly with re-gard to the suction side connection, note that additional con-nectors and pipe bends increase the pressure differential.

Observe the following points for hydraulic connection:

– Keep the height difference between the pump and the oillevel in the reservoir as small as possible.

– Use a suction hose that is suitable for a vacuum of ≥-0.5 bar.

– Avoid constrictions in the connected hoses. This reducesthe power and increases the risk of cavitation.



– Note that the nominal size of the connected hose/pipingmust correspond to the cross-section of the connectionthread.

– Make sure that the connection hoses/piping (suction side/pressure side) do not cause any tension or vibrations to becarried over to the filter unit. Use hoses or expansion jointsif necessary.



5.7 Attaching / connecting the suction / pressure hoses(Accessories)Take into account the pressure loss when connecting suction/pressure hoses. The suction / pressure hoses from the filterunit Accessories list [} 92] are matched to the filter unit.

NOTICEHigh solid particle contamination in the fluid / at the bottom ofthe tank

The pump will be damaged / destroyed

u Do not prime fluid directly at the bottom of the tank.

u Do not prime fluid in the sump.

The greatest contamination is found on the bottom of the tank.All impurities and other particles are deposited on the bottomof the tank. All impurities and other particles are deposited onthe bottom of the tank.

Prevent aeration of the medium by fully immersing the lance inthe medium.Ensure that the lance is always below the level of the oil duringoperation.

The IN / OUT connection dimensions on the filter unit can befound in Chapter Technical Data [} 29].

Check the hoses for damage and brittleness. Replace dam-aged or brittle hoses immediately. Doing so avoids leaks dur-ing operation.

Put the hoses with the lance, without any tension and or twist,into the corresponding tank. Put the hose with the lance intothe corresponding tank without any tension or twist. Secure thehose so that it cannot fall out or float.

Check that no shut-off devices in the lines/hoses are ob-structed. Make sure there is a depressurized outlet.



5.8 CommissioningPlease follow the following steps for commissioning:

1. Insert a filter or empty element in the filter bowl.NOTICE! Operation without a filter element or emptyelement leads to leaks at the filter bowl.

2. Check that the power supply cable is undamaged. Re-place damaged cables immediately.

3. Check that the suction and pressure hoses are undam-aged. Replace damaged hoses immediately.

4. Check the ambient and fluid temperature.

5. Clean the protective screen, see Checking/cleaning theprotective screen [} 80].

6. Prior to each use, match the oil type in the filter unit tothe oil type to be pumped. If you are not sure what sortof oil is in the filter unit, or if you would like to pump a dif-ferent type of oil than was most recently pumped, emptythe filter unit completely and replace the filter element.

7. Fill the filter element with the fluid to be transported inorder to ensure dry-running protection. see Changingthe filter element [} 66].

8. Connect the filter unit to the power or compressed airsupply, see Making the electrical connections [} 45] orConnecting pneumatically (Option - Compressed air mo-tor) [} 48]

9. Connect the suction and pressure hoses or hang thehoses in the reservoir, see Connecting the suction/pres-sure port [} 49]



10. Switch the filter unit on and monitor the suction actionvia the transparent suction hose. If the filter unit doesnot pump any fluid after a max. of 5 minutes of opera-tion, switch the filter unit off.Fill the motor-pump group with fluid through the suctionhose and switch the filter unit on once again.
