Filter element servicing
During servicing, the external surfaces of the filter assembly must be
cleaned to remove any dust deposits.
Servicing must be conducted using suitable tools that do not present
a hazard.
Servicing must not be carried out when a potentially explosive
atmosphere is present.
CAUTION:
Filter elements should be replaced upon indication or at
specified intervals, six months maximum. Failure to
change the element will cause the filter to go on bypass.
Refer to Service Parts List (Section 10) for item numbers for applicable
replacement element series. Remove and replace element as follows:
7.1
Remove latching pin and shift change over valve handle (10) 180°
to bring off-line housing on-line. Insert latching pin to prevent
accidental movement.
NOTE: Change-over valve handle indicates the filter housing on stream.
7.2
The off-line housing, now isolated from the system by the
change-over valve, is depressurised by slowly venting through the
vent plug (10). Open drain plug (11) and drain fluid into a suitable
container. Discard fluid in accordance with local Health and Safety
regulations. Close drain plug (11) and torque tighten to 12 ft/lb
or 16 Nm.
NOTE: During element replacement some small internal leakage may be noted
from the on-line filter housing.
7.3
Manually unscrew cover handle and remove filter cover assembly
(5) from tube (2). Remove element (8), if already fitted, and
carefully inspect the surface for significant visible contamination.
Normally no dirt should show but visible dirt or particles from the
filter tube (2) interior and filter cover assembly (5) can be an early
warning of system component breakdown and can indicate
potential failure. Discard both the element and its O-rings in
accordance with local Health and Safety Procedures. The filter
element is NOT CLEANABLE. Any attempt to clean the filter can
cause degradation of the filter medium and allow contaminated
fluid to pass through the filter.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR RE-USE THE
ELEMENT.
ONLY USE GENUINE PALL REPLACEMENT FILTER
ELEMENTS. USE OF SUBSTITUTE ELEMENTS MAY
INVALIDATE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
7.4
Inspect filter cover assembly (5) and bypass valves for possible
damage or malfunction. Replace filter cover assembly if damage
is observed. Remove any accumulated dirt from the filter tube
interior and cover assembly being careful to prevent contaminant
from entering the outlet and flowing downstream. DO NOT run the
system without a filter element (8) installed. Check the O-rings (6)
on the cover assembly (5) and centre post (3) are not damaged.
Use the correct replacement filter element (8) part number called
for on assembly nameplate.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO REPLACE DAMAGED PARTS IN THE
FILTER ASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE COMPONENTS IN
THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TO FAIL OR DEGRADE IN
THEIR PERFORMANCE.
7.5
Lubricate element O-ring seals with clean system fluid and push
filter element (8) straight over the housing centre post. Ensure the
cover assembly (5) and centre post (3) threads are clean and dry.
Lightly lubricate the centre post threads, O-ring seal and cover
assembly seals with clean system fluid. HAND TIGHTEN cover
handle until cover assembly and tube are in contact. O-ring
sealing is not improved by over tightening.
Filter housing is now ready for change-over when required.

s e r v i c e i n s t r u c t i o n s
WARNING:
DO NOT USE PIPE WRENCH, HAMMER OR ANY
SIMILAR TOOL TO TIGHTEN COVER.
7.6
Open housing vent plug (10), remove latchable pin and shift
change-over valve (14) handle so that system fluid slowly fills
the housing with the newly replaced element.
7.7
Close vent port (10) when bubble free fluid issues from it.
Return change-over valve handle back to latched position.
NOTE: For UR649, UR669 and UR689 units, the above applies to each
housing having elements replaced.
7.8
After element change ENSURE VISUAL DIFFERENTIAL
PRESSURE WARNING DEVICE IS RESET BY PUSHING IN THE
BUTTON; electrical devices are reset automatically. When system
reaches normal operating temperature, check that electrical
switch has not actuated and/or that visual warning button remains
depressed. If visual indicator rises due to a cold start condition,
reset again as per Section 6.

Fluid sampling
Optimum sampling to verify fluid condition can be achieved by the use
of sampling adaptors installed in place of or in combination with the
differential pressure device. This provides up and downstream 1/4-inch
BSP parallel thread ports to be used for sampling. For more information
consult Pall or your local Pall distributor. Pall offers a fluid contamination
analysis service - consult the Pall sales office.
