10.1 Filter installation When installing the filter make sure that sufficient space is available to remove filter element and filter housing. Preferably the filter should be installed with the filter housing pointing downwards. The maintenance indicator must be visible. |
| 10.2 Connecting the electrical maintenance indicator The electrical indicator is connected via a 2-pole appliance plug according to DlN EN 175301-803 with poles marked 1 and 2. The electrical section can be inverted to change from normally open position to normally closed position or vice versa. |
| 10.3 When should the filter element be replaced? |
| 1. Filters equipped with visual and electrical maintenance indicator: During cold starts, the indicator may give a warning signal. Press the red button of the visual indicator once again only after operating temperature has been reached. lf the red button immediately pops up again and/or the electrical signal has not switched off after reaching operating temperature, the filter element must be replaced after the end of the shift. |
| 2. Please always ensure that you have original MAHLE spare elements in stock: Disposable elements (PS) cannot be cleaned. |
10.4. Element replacement Note: The maintenance indicator monitors the filter side in operation, which is identified by the position of the switching lever catch. The flow transfer valve must be switched prior to filter servicing. Now the signal of the maintenance indicator is cancelled and the red button can be depressed again.

| 1. Operate and hold pressure equalizing lever located in the switching lever. Swivel switching lever. Engage the catch. Place through or drip pan underneath to collect leaking oil. |
| 2.Loosen vent screw of the filter side not in use by 2-3 turns; maximum back out against safety stop. |
| 3. Unscrew filter bowl by rotating same counter clockwise and clean with a suitable medium. |
| 4. Remove filter element with a side-to-side motion. |
| 5. Check o-ring on the filter housing and the spigot for damage. Replace, if necessary. |
| 6. Make sure that the order number on the spare element corresponds to the order number of the filter name-plate. Remove the plastic bag and push element over the spigot in the filter head. |
| 7. Complete installation by screwing on the housing, turning clockwise until it comes to a full stop. Back off the housing 1/8 to 1/2 turn. |
| 8. To refill the filter chamber, operate only the pressure equalizing lever long enough for the medium to emerge bubblefree from the vent bore. Tighten vent screw. Check filter for leaks by operating the pressure equalizing lever once again. |
