Instruction Manual

Introduction
The Centrifuge Cleaner cleans your engine oil continuously when your engine is
running. It separates dirt above 1 micron approximately from engine oil thus lowers
wear rate of engine components drastically. It avoids harmful oil degradation and
arrests depletion of oil additives increasing the oil life. The Centrifuge Cleaner does not
require any spare parts to be replaced and gives consistent performance throughout engine
oil.
•
Cleaning frequency
For consistent performance, the centrifuge rotor needs to be cleaned periodically as
mentioned in this manual. It is recommended that you service the centrifuge
every 250
hours of working or at every oil change period.
The volume of dirt collected depends upon engine application, loading and environment in
which engine is working. Exact period of servicing the centrifuge can thus vary between
200 hours of working
to your oil change period. Please follow the instructions given
below for cleaning of centrifuge cleaner.

Identification and location
The centrifuge Cleaner is located on the same manifold on which full flow oil filter
is mounted. The centrifuge can be easily identified with a dome shaped cover bearing
instruction sticker. The exact location is as shown in this photograph 5.1.5.1. The internal
components of the centrifuge is shown in Fig 5.1.5.2
