 Original equipment manufacturers are incorporating Harvard
Corporation's filtration technology into the design of their products.
OEMs prefer engineering and building our filter into their products rather
than letting the end user put our filter on afterward. Harvard Corporation
also provides assistance to OEMs, including extensive engineering and
technical support. Harvard builds filters designed for specific OEM
equipment applications.

How Our System Works
Contaminants from 1 to 40 microns in size are common even in full-flow, filtered lubricants and
coolants. Larger contaminants nest into areas around bearings, rings, pumps, etc. and damage
component surfaces. Smaller contaminants that cannot be removed by full-flow filters wear the
apparatus by a process called silting.

For many years, partial-flow filtration has been used to supplement full-flow filters to remove larger
contaminants and control silting. Harvard Corporation did not invent partial-flow filtration, but we
significantly improved it. Our patented, non-channeling seals improve partial-flow filtration by forcing oil
through a wound, fiber-filter media so fluids cannot bypass the partial-flow filter.

Independent studies conducted by the Center for Hazardous Materials Research at the University of
Pittsburgh demonstrated the effectiveness of Harvard Corporation non-channeling, partial-flow filter.
The filter removes virtually all remaining 1 to 40 micron contaminants while also removing the vast
majority of silting particles. In addition, the filter absorbs water, antifreeze and other extraneous
particles.

 Pre-Operating
1. Connect the inlet and output hoses to the inlet and outlet fittings, respectively.

2. Connect or insert the inlet line to the fluid to be cleaned, and the outlet line to the fluid to be
determined. See Note 1.

3. Connect to proper voltage and amperage line as specified on the data plate. See Note 2.

4. Install the new filter element and seal as per “Element Change Procedure”.

Note 1: Refer to flow diagrams.

Note 2: If using extension cord make sure it is heavy duty.

Operating Instructions
1. Open the inlet and outlet flow valve(s) to housing (s).
2. Close the transfer valve.
3. Open the volume control valve.

Warning: Never start the motor while the valves are closed.
Damage to the motor may result and void the warranty!
4. Move the lever on the pressure switch to a vertical position.
5. Rotate the start switch to the “on” position.
6. Slowly close the volume control valve until the pressure gauge is at or above 20 psi.
• For low-viscosity fluids, the VCV may need to be completely closed at this point.
• For high-viscosity fluids, the VCV may need to be fully opened at this point. Running
high-viscosity fluids back through the pump generates heat, which lowers the
viscosity.
7. When the pressure gage is steady at 20 psi, move the pressure switch lever to the
horizontal position.

7
 Element Change Procedure
Element Replacement is required when the pressure gauge is at or
above 55psi.

WARNING! UNIT MUST BE OFF WHEN SERVICING

Depending on model, refer to Figure 1 or 2.
1. Turn the unit off.
2. Remove the drain cap at the bottom of the housing, and open the vent drain cock.
See Note 1.
3. Remove the cover clamp and cover.
4. Remove the turndown bolt, turning CCW.
5. Lift out the element, using the element lifter, and allow it to drain on a suitable container.
6. Reinstall the drain cap.
7. Install the new element, orienting it so that the end with the soft gasket faces down.
8. Replace the turndown bolt seal.
9. Reinstall the turndown bolt. Screw it CW until it comes to a definite stop.
10. Reinstall the cover and clamp, and then close the vent. See Note 2.
11. Restart the system, and bleed off any air from the housing(s) using the vent cock located
on the housing cover(s).

The filter system is now ready to use.

Note 1: Use a suitable container to catch fluid; the housing can hold up to 5 gallons.
Note 2: Before the cover is installed, the drained fluid can be put back into the housing.

Sampling Procedure
1. Remove the sample valve cap.

2. Clean the outlet port to remove dust and dirt.

3. Place a container beneath the sample valve to
catch the oil flow. The container should hold at
least one quart (0.95 L).

4. Open the sample valve to allow a steady stream

of oil from the outlet.

5. Open the sample bottle and fill it from the Figure 1: Step 3.
stream of oil. Empty and refill it two or three
times to clean the bottle with the oil.

Warning: Opening the sample valve knocks

particles into the oil. To avoid contaminating the
sample, wait several seconds after opening the
valve before filling the sample bottle.

6. Fill the bottle for the last time. Quickly cap the
bottle.

7. After the sample bottle is capped, close the

Figure 2: Step 4.
sample valve to stop the oil flow.

8. Replace the sample valve cap.

9. Complete the sample information sheet.

Pressure Switch
The pressure switch provided on this unit will monitor the pressure in the filter housing(s). If the
pressure falls below 12 psi, or increases above 65 psi, the switch will shut off the pump.

The low pressure trip (cut-in) is adjusted to shut off the unit when the intake is clogged or sucking
air. This is called “cavitation protection”, and is also very useful for shutting the system down
when the supply source is empty.

The high pressure trip (cut-out) is adjusted to shut off the unit when filter housing pressures
exceed prescribed limits. It may also indicate a loaded element.

To replace the pressure switch, do the following:

1. Disconnect the power cord from its source and remove the pressure switch cover.

13
 2. Mark the wires for reference in step 7.
3. Disconnect the wires from the switch and unplug the connectors.
4. Remove the conduit fittings from the switch.
5. Take out the two (2) mounting screws and remove the pressure switch.
6. Unscrew the brass fittings and gauge as a unit from the switch.
7. Install the new pressure switch in reverse order. See the wiring diagram to reconnect the
wires.
8. Refer to the “Pressure Adjustments on Replacement Switches” section to properly set the
pressure switch.

Pressure Adjustments on Replacement Switches

Only adjust replacement switches!
Adjust in the following sequence:

1. Remove the nut to remove the cover.

2. Low Point: Turn the range nut on the large spring CW to increase the pressure; or CCW to
decrease the pressure. The recommended setting is 12 psi.
3. High Point: Turn the range nut on the small spring CW to increase pressure; or CCW to
decrease the pressure. The recommended setting is 65 psi.
4. Reinstall the cover.

Note: The pressure relief valve is set to open at a higher pressure than the pressure switch.
Its factory setting is 70 psi.
