 Maintenance of the filter

 Cleaning and replacement of the filter

▪ Check the pressure gauge to check the clogging condition of the filter .
The pressure will change in accordance with clogging of the filter . Therefore,
check the pressure periodically.
Check the pressure while the supplying pump is in operation. The pressure
gauge works by the occurrence of differential pressure, therefore the pointer
reads 0MPa unless the supplying pump is operating.
When the pressure gauge reads 0.2MPa or more, it shows clogging of the filter
in which case, clean the element or replace it with a new one immediately.
▪ The element is made of non-woven fabric, so it is hard to maintain its original
condition even by cleaning.
Cleaning it roughly will make it become easily clogged. When this occurs, replace it
with a new one.
▪ When cleaning the element, drain the oil adequately and place it in the sun to dry
completely. Then carefully remove the cutting chips which have stuck to the element
with a soft brush etc.
▪ Cutting chips are invisibly fine. They stick to the inner side of the large element, and
to the outer side of the small element.
▪ To avoid stopping operation of the machine to clean the element (while it is drying),
prepare a spare element beforehand.

(4) Loosen the screw and rotate the cover . Then insert the hose into the hole of
the base.
(5) Lift up the filter from the tank and place it in a container etc.

▪ Be careful when lifting up the filter , as it becomes heavy from soaking up the
coolant.

(6) Remove the four nuts located on top of the filter and dismount the top cover.
(7) Replace the element.

13-38
(8) Put the filter back into the tank.
(9) Join the hose and the filter with the coupling .
(10)Cover the hole with the cover and fix it with the screw .
(11)Fix the covers with the four screws and the four screws .

◼ About the flow setting

Detection point setting : Setting of step (22)


⚫ : Switch point

As the range of valid flow of the initial setting is only from LED 7 to LED 9, setting of the
switch point is difficult therefore switch point setting is carried out to widen the adjustment
range.
Using the switch point setting, widen the adjustment range by changing the minimum flow
setting to LED 6 of the initial value. This makes the switch point setting easier.

To make this setting more sensitive, use the detection point setting to make the minimum
flow setting a value bigger than LED 6.
Conversely, to make this setting less sensitive, use the detection point setting to make the
minimum flow setting a value smaller than LED 6.

◼ Alarm
When the coolant flow becomes lower than the preset value, alarm No. 1017 will be displayed.

◼ Initialization of the flow sensor


Follow the procedure below to carry out initialization of the sensor .

(1) Press and hold the button of the flow sensor for approximately 15 seconds.
LED 9 will light up, and then flash after 5 seconds.
(2) In 15 seconds, when LEDs 0~9 flash orange, release the button.
All settings will change to the values at the time of shipping (switch point: LED 7).
