Operating the pump with condensate in the
catchpots
Observe the condensate levels in the catchpots of the sep-
arator at the inlet and of the oil mist filter. The condensate
level in an optional separator at the inlet must always be
kept below the bottom of the separator tube. The conden-
sate level in the oil mist filter must always be kept below
the bottom edge of the filter.
Drain condensate in time. To drain condensate, switch off
and vent the pump. Then open drain screw of the catch-
pot. Condensate of the inlet catchpot (see ”Accessories”,
pg. 39) in particular must not be drained while pump is
operating.
In case of a clogged filter, oil mist might be visible in the
oil filter housing, or the filter might be discolored or exhibit
deposits on the inside. If the filter element is clogged, dis-
assemble the oil mist filter and replace the filter element.
Under certain circumstances, clogged filter elements can
be cleaned using suitable solvents. However, it is safer to
use a new filter element (see section ”Replacing the filter
element in the oil mist filter”, pg. 52).
Do not reuse separated oil if it is contaminated or discol-
ored.

Important: Comply with regulations when disposing
of solvents/condensates. Recycle if possible; purify if
contaminated.
