5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION OF DUPLEX FILTER

- Filter vessel can be installed in any direction, vertically mounting, with the bottom head downwards or
upward; Suggested position is with housing cap upward in order to easy handle;
- The minimum clearance between housing cap cover and any obstacle is 500mm;
- Lube oil duplex for hydraulic service model is supplied with microfiber cartridges already mounted;
- Differential pressure connections, if fitted, must be torque tightened to 54 Nm (38 ft/lb);
NOTE: differential pressure connections are plugged with stainless steel plugs.

Never work without making sure that all connections are sealed

- Housing cap, to avoid potential problems due to shipping, must be torque @ 30Nm (22ft/lb)
- ADNHHF1 filter wall mounted plates have nr. 3 holes 13mm OD for M10 screws or equivalent, not supplied
with filter, for concrete or structure installation;
- Foundation must be safely fixed to avoid high vibration and harmful consequences for the plant;
- Connect the inlet, outlet, vent and drain connections of filter assembly to customer lines;

Reverse flow through filter element will cause damage

- Customer piping supports should be provided in order to minimize external loads. This piping must be
earthed to earthing bosse connection or equivalent device;

Use flange compatible to connection supplied with the same size and rating; use of incorrect fittings can
cause failure of filter

Note: Reversing the vertical position of entire filter (Bottom head or Top head) vent and drain connection will be also reversed.

6. FLUID SAMPLING

- Filters® recommends and provides, upon request, fluid contamination analysis and particle counting.
Our labs are available, please contact Filters® service (service@filters.it);
Representative reservoir fluid samples are essential prerequisites for providing quality data.

7. COMMISSIONING & STARTUP ACTIVITIES

- Open vent valve connections on both filter bodies;

- Change-over valve commutation handle shall be positioned in the middle (both filters open);
- Balancing / refilling valve must be opened;
- Start customer pumps in order to fill entire filters system with oil;

Use of inappropriate fluids can cause failure of filter

- Check vent lines sight glass or level until show continuous oil flow without air bubbles ;

Inappropriate venting of the filter housing will increase the dissolved air on the fluids and may cause
problems

- Switch the changeover valve to main filter operation;

- Close vent connection on both filter vessels;
- Balancing / refilling valve can be kept in open position, for easy change-over and short time operations;
NOTE: This practice is still recommended with low ambient temperature; the exchange of hot fluids between the two bodies maintains the
same internal temperature;

8. FILTER MAINTENANCE

- ADNHHF1 filter do not require special attention, except for the following checks:

- Periodical monitoring of warning differential pressure device (on customers control panel);

Filter elements should be replaced within 1.2 up to 1.5 bar differential pressure range; Failure to change
will cause by-pass through the cartridges and several damage to lubrication system

- Periodical check of sealing surface;

NOTE: if leakage is observed on the filter assembly, replace gasket on leak source; if the leak persist, search for scratches or cracks and
replace any defective components.

8.1. ROUTINE CHECKS & CARTRIDGES REPLACING PLANNING

Following checks will be tasked by operator:

Check Suggested Frequency Action Sistem Status

Interface connection Weekly Verify the sealed of inlet/outlet/drain connection Running
Threaded Housing Cap Weekly Verify the sealed of housing cap Running
Differential pressure DP Daily Check DP variation on machine Running

Replacing
Cartridges elements When DP > 1.2 or 1.5 barD Replace the cartridge Switched on standby filter
Set of gasket When the leak is Replace all gasket Switched on standby filter
compromised

9. REPLACEMENT OF FILTER ELEMENTS

- Before cartridges replacement the external filter body must be cleaned to remove any dust accumulation;
- Ensure the presence of cartridge elements on the stand-by filter body;

Do not run the system without filter elements installed

- Ensure that the stand-by filter is correctly vented;

- Balance the pressure between two filters (if not previously done) by means of bypass valve;

Balancing and equalization of pressure is mandatory; Otherwise change-over will be compromised by

differential pressure load

- Switch the valve (commutation indicator shall be positioned on stand-by filter);

- Open Vent and Drain valves on isolated main filter;
- Ensure that the main filter is fully drained;
- Unscrew housing cap of filter body and displace threaded cap in clean area;
- Remove and replace filtering cartridges (the sealing is guaranteed by the internal O-rings of cartridge , be
careful to remove the cartridge vigorously);

These cartridges are NOT CLEANABLE: this operation can cause degradation of microfiber and allow
dirty fluid to flow through the cartridges

- Use only genuine spare cartridges made by Filters®; The use of other cartridges may invalidate product
warranty;
- Make an internal cleaning check (no visible contamination will be accepted);

03/2011 L.Favaro
 Cleaning operation shall be performed with clean side plugged by Filters® device or equal system, like
temporary caps or plugs

- Lubricate all O-ring seals with clean oil of the system or compatible grease;
- Inspect housing cap O-rings and replace it, if necessary;
- Place the housing threaded cap at original position and tighten;
- Open vent lines on isolated main filter;
- Open balancing / refilling valve up to complete filling of the empty filter body;
- Filter is now ready to new switch if required by process conditions;

Internal components to be disassembly:

10. ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE DISPOSAL

Stainless steel and carbon steel vessel of this filter are designed for a long life - typically several decades.
However, there will come a time when the product has reached the end of its useful life: by technological redundancy
(e.g. the product is replaced by a more efficient technology); by product failure (e.g. some part of the equipment fails
because of eventual corrosion).

In many of these cases, the stainless steel has suffered little degradation and still contains the high value of the initial
alloying elements such as chromium, nickel and molybdenum. This makes it a valuable source of those constituents
to the stainless steel producer and a high proportion of material going into the melting furnace is usually recycled.
Therefore there are well established systems to collect and recycle stainless steel. This includes trimmings and other
scrap which arise during manufacturing of stainless steel products.

For others material present on this filter, like a internal gasket, microfiber cartridges and O-rings, if recycling is not
practicable, dispose of in compliance with local regulations. Incineration with energy recovery is the preferred method
of disposal. The incinerator must be equipped with an appropriate scrubber to remove hydrogen fluoride. Local
regulations must be followed. Disposal via landfill in accordance with local regulations is another option.

11. WARRANTY

- ADNHHF1 Filter is made to work within design data limits and operating range conditions;
- FILTERS® shall have no liability for a product subjected to improper installation, application, operation,
maintenance or repair, alteration, accident or negligence in use, storage, transportation or handling;
- FILTERS® responsibility is limited to warranty period for documented defective claim, replacing, repairing
main defective components;
