-
The switching function can be changed by turning the electric up-
per part by 180° (normally closed contact or normally open contact).
The state on delivery is normally closed contact. By inductivity in the
direct current circuit the use of suitable protection circuit should be
considered. Further maintenance indicator details and designs are
available in the maintenance indicator data sheet.

We draw attention to the fact that all values indicated are average
values which do not always occur in specific cases of application.
Our products are continually being further developed. Values, di-
mensions and weights can change as a result of this. Our special-
ized department will be pleased to offer you advice.

We recommend you to contact us concerning applications of our fil-
ters in areas governed by the EU Directive 94/4 EC (ATEX 95). The
standard version can be used for liquids based on mineral oil (cor-
responding to fluids in Group2 of DirectiveDirective 97/23 EC Article
9). If you consider to use other fluds please contact us for additional

 10. Installation, operating and maintenance instructions

10.1 Filter installation

When installing filter make sure that sufficient space is available to
remove spin-on cartridge. Preferably the filter should be installed
with the filter housing pointing upwards.
The maintenance indicator must be visible.
-
10.2 Connecting the electrical maintenance indicator
The electrical indicator is connected via a 2-pole appliance plug ac-
cording to DIN EN 175301-803 with poles marked 1 and 2. The elec-
trical section can be inverted to change from normally open to nor-
mally closed position or vice versa.
-
10.3 When should the filter element be replaced?
1 . Filters equipped with visual and electrical maintenance indicat-
or:
During cold starts, the indicator may give a warning signal.
Press the red button of the visual indicator once again and only
after operating temperature has been reached. If the red button
immediately pops up again and/or the electrical signal has not
switched off after reaching operating temperature, the spin-on
cartridge must be replaced after the end of the shift.
2. Filters without maintenance indicator:
The filter element should be replaced after the trial run or flush-
ing of the system. Afterwards follow the instructions of the man-
ufacturer.
3. Please always ensure that you have original MAHLE spare ele-
ments in stock: Disposable elements (Sm-x, Sm-N) cannot be
cleaned.
-
10.4. Element replacement
1 . Stop system and relieve filter from pressure.
2 . Loosen quick-action clamp, remove cover and open drain valve.
Housing completely vented.
3 . Remove filter element from filter housing.
4 . Check seals for damages. Replace, if necessary.
5 . Make sure that the order number on the spare element corres- 11. Spare parts list
ponds to the order number of the filter name-plate.
To ensure no contamination occurs during the exchange of the
element first open the plastic bag and push the element overt Order numbers for spare parts
the spigot in the filter head. Now remove plastic bag. Position Type Order number
6 . Close drain valve. Put the thumb screw together with the cover Seal kit
on the centre rod and tighten strong. Filter must be bleeded.
