Operation And Maintenance - Vetus BISEP 19 Instrucciones De Instalación

The separator connections fit tubing with a
diameter of 19mm. Always use flexible tubing
for both connections; i. e., for the connection
between the bilge pump and the separator
and for the connection between the separator
and the shell duct.
Use only water and / or soap to facilitate the
attachment of the tubing to a tube column;
avoid products containing oils and fats. Fasten
the hose couplings with a stainless steel tube
clamp.
If the tubing is very long, install a check
valve immediately downstream of the
bilge pump to prevent repeated starting
and stopping of the bilge pump. For de-
tails please see Fig. 3 on page 19.

Operation and Maintenance

• The filter element should be regularly in-
spected for signs of saturation. Replace the
filter element before it is saturated with oil.
• First remove the screw cap by turning the
filter housing in an anticlockwise direction
(see Fig. 4 on page 20).
• Then remove the 15 loose disks of the filter
element from the housing by taking them
out one by one.
• Clean the interior of the filter housing.
Bilge water/ Oil separator BISEP 19
• Finally insert the new disks one by one.
• Grease the O-ring, vor instance using sili-
cone oil or teflon spray (see Fig. 5 on page
21), and reattach the screw cap.
Always loosen or tighten the screw cap
manually. Never use tools for this pur-
pose (see Figs. 6 and 7 on page 21).
After fastening the cover, check the seal of the
filter housing cover. If this cover does not close
properly, bilge water may escape through the
O-ring!
In order to prevent freezing and thus damage
of the bilge water / oil separator on cold winter
days, the bilge water must be drained off.
To drain the water, remove the hose couplings;
the filter housing does not have a drain valve.
