3. INSTALLATION PLANNING
A. Relative Height of Units (See FIGURE 1)
1. The cleaning chamber of a standard electrostatic oil
cleaning unit is designed to withstand pressure up to
25 psi. The pump internal by-pass relief valve is
factory set at 25 psi. The oil cleaner should not be
installed in a manner as to apply more than 25 psi of
back pressure from the reservoir. The unit should
not be more than ten feet above or below the
reservoir.
B. Plumbing Requirements (See FIGURE 1)
1. Ball valves should be installed in the supply line and
return lines from the oil reservoir to isolate the
Kleentek unit from the reservoir during servicing or
repair.
2. The return line should enter the oil reservoir at a
point that is always below the maximum oil level in
the reservoir. For optimum circulation of oil the
return line should be located on the opposite side of
the reservoir from the supply line.

9.TROUBLESHOOTING (See Chart on pages 17)
ALWAYS disconnect the unit from the 115 VAC power
source before servicing.
A. Loss of High Voltage
When the electrical voltage in the cleaning chamber
falls below 3.0 KV, the power to the HV power supply
will be interrupted. The alarm contact will also be open.
The minimum voltage is 3.0 KV for all units. Should
this occur, the unit can be reset by the following:
1. Turn the Power Switch “OFF,” then “ON.”
2. If the high voltage is cut off again within 10 seconds
and the alarm signal is received, turn ”OFF” the
Power Switch.
3. Test the moisture content in the oil. This can be
done in one of two ways. The first way involves
obtaining a small sample of oil from the drain valve
and examining it under a 50X microscope. If several
round spots can be observed, this is confirmation of
a moisture content greater than 500 ppm. The
second method involves heating a metal teaspoon
using a gas flame or lighter and then placing a
sample of oil on the heated spoon. If bubbles begin
to appear in the oil then the moisture content is
greater than 500 ppm. If the moisture content is
greater than 500 ppm, the oil must be pre-treated to
remove the water from the oil.

C. Testing - High Voltage
! WA R N I N G
ELECTROSTATIC SHOCK HAZARD.
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN TESTING
FOR HIGH VOLTAGE.
If the DOC unit is not removing contaminants from the
oil or is functioning below the designed standard level
of operation, this could be due to a lack of high voltage
in the cleaning chamber. In this case, the voltage being
generated in the cleaning chamber will need to be
tested. To test the voltage in the cleaning chamber,
proceed with the following instructions:
1. Attain a high voltage probe. It is recommended to
use a digital multi-meter and 40KV high voltage
probe or equivalent.
2. Drain the DOC unit per instructions in Section 6D.
3. Ensure that flow is stopped and Power Switches are
“OFF”.
4. Remove the cleaning chamber cover.
5. Remove the collector cartridge.
6. Disconnect the electrical connector leading to the
pump/motor.
7. Replace cleaning chamber cover fastener (band
clamp) to provide signal to Proximity Switch.
8. Be sure that no one is touching anything within the
cleaning chamber and turn the Power Switch “ON.”
9. The center post is the means by which high voltage
is transmitted to the cleaning chamber cartridge. In
order to attain a voltage reading from the center
post, it will require two people to perform the next
step. One person, with an insulated tool, must defeat
Float Switch located inside the cleaning chambers
Be careful! The high voltage is now ON in the
cleaning chamber. The cleaning chamber is
grounded and there will be no danger unless the
center post is contacted.
10. The ground clip from HV probe must be connected
to the grounded tank. Using the high-voltage probe,
the second person will contact the center post and
attain a voltage output reading.

KLEENTEK®
Oil Cleaner
11. Once the reading is taken, turn ”OFF” all power and
restore the DOC unit to its normal operating config-
uration by replacing collector cartridge, cleaning
chamber cover and pump/motor wires. Be sure the
metal tabs on the cartridge are facing down and are
making contact with the center post and the clean-
ing chamber wall.
12. The voltage output should be 10-12KV. If a value
substantially less than 10KV is attained, contact the
KLEENTEK representative.
D. Pump Problems - What to Look For
1.No Oil is Delivered.
a. Suction lift too high for vapor pressures of liquid
pumped. While pump will develop as high as 27
inches of vacuum, it is good engineering practice
to reduce the vacuum to a minimum.
b. Bad leaks in suction line or port passages can be
detected by submerging pressure line from dis-
charge side of pump into a pail of oil, where the
air will be seen in the form of bubbles.
c. Pump shaft not rotating.
Coupling defective - tongue and groove or gear
not engaged.
2. Capacity is too Low.
a. Suction lift too high.
b. Air leaks in suction line.
c. Suction line is too small.
Can be detected by installing a vacuum gauge
directly at the pump suction. The maximum vacu-
um at the pump suction should never exceed 15
inches of mercury. It is necessary to keep below
15 inches, not because of the inability of the pump
to handle a higher vacuum, but primarily because
of the vaporization that is liable to take place at a
higher vacuum. Vaporization caused by higher
vacuums will generally result in capacity drop-off.
d. Pump speed too slow.
e. Strainer too small or obstructed.
f. Suction pipe or port not immersed in the liquid
deep enough.
g. Piping improperly installed, permitting air pocket to
form in pump.
h. Increased clearances or wear in the pump will
sometimes cause the pump to deliver an insuffi-
cient supply of liquid.
3. Pump Works Spasmodically.
a. Suction lift too high.
b. Air or vapor in liquid.
c. Coupling slipping on pump shaft.
4. Pump Wastes Power.
a. Pressure is too high.
b. Liquid more viscous than desired.
c. Suction or discharge lines obstructed.
d. Mechanical defects.
1) End thrust on pump shaft. (Pump is not
designed to take end thrust toward the pump
cover and extreme care must be taken to
prevent thrust in this direction).
Revised 01/07
2) Driving shaft and pump shaft misaligned.
3) The pump may be binding due to insufficient
end clearance.
4) Pump shaft bent.
5) Misalignment within pump due to strains built
up by piping or installation.
5. Pump is Noisy.
a. Machine or part of it is acting as sounding board.
b. Misalignment of couplings. Coupling set up too
close to pump.
d. Vibration of pump.
1) Bent Shaft.
2) Worn pump.
e. Air leaks into suction side of pump.
f. Suction lift so high that an air pocket forms within liquid.
6. Handle With Care.
If it becomes necessary to remove pump from your
equipment to return to the manufacturer, plugs
should be inserted in the ports to prevent foreign
material from getting into the moving parts. Pumps
are precision-built and should be given every
reasonable care.

PINCH HAZARD
DISCONNECT UNIT FROM POWER SOURCE
BEFORE SERVICING
10. PUMP SERVICING
A. Disassembly of Seal
The seal assembly of the pump may be changed
without disassembly of the rest of the pump.
1. Place the pump in vise, shaft facing up, so that
one jaw grips across the two ports. Do not tighten
excessively as pump housing may be distorted.
2. Inspect shaft at key-way, flat or drive tang. Any
burrs will interfere with removal of housing plug
bearing assembly.
3. Remove housing plug with face type spanner wrench.
4. Remove the seal from shaft. The rubber boot
will be bonded to the shaft, so it is necessary to
push down on the seal to break this bond.
Grasp the metal outer shell with any suitable
device and pull the seal assembly upwards.
The spring and washer should also be removed.
5. The pump assemblies have a snap ring on the
shaft to back up the seal assembly. Do not
remove this snap ring unless you are
completely disassembling the pump. A step on
the shaft is used as the seal back up.
6. Remove stationary seal face from housing plug
by pressing out from opposite side.

7. If damaged, remove the 0-ring from outside
diameter (O.D.) of housing plug.
B. Disassembly of Pump
1. Seal assembly must be removed before
disassembly of pump. Also remove snap ring on
shaft.
2. Mark cover and body of the pump for proper
reassembly. Remove cap screws, cover, idler
and rotor from housing.
C. Inspection
1. Check pump housing, rotor, idler gear, idler pin
and crescent for wear, chipped or broken teeth.
2. Housing bore and rotor O.D. may be checked for
wear by positioning rotor in the housing and
check for clearance in the bearing. The shaft
must turn freely without any detectable side play.
Any side play will require replacement of the
housing, rotor or both. If both housing and rotor
require replacing, it is economically advisable to
replace the pump.
D. Assembly of Pump
The following must be carefully followed when
pump is reassembled:
1. Clean all parts thoroughly using great care to
eliminate all dirt.
2. Install rotor in pump body.
3. Apply gasket to cover. Use new gasket if old one
is damaged.
4. Place idler gear on pin in cover assembly.
5. Place cover assembly with gear on pump. (Align
matching marks for proper location.)
6. Install cover cap screws. Pull down gradually
and alternate from a screw on one side to one
on the opposite side. Torque to 7-10 ft. lbs.
7. Install snap ring on shaft.
E. Assembly of Seal
1. Clean all parts thoroughly using great care to
eliminate all dirt.
2. Oil shaft with suitable lubricating oil.
3. Oil inside of new rotary seal assembly.
4. Press stationary face into housing plug. Lapped
surface must be up. Protect this lapped surface
by covering it with a piece of paper when pressing
down on face. Use your fingers for this operation.
5. Place new 0-ring on O.D. of housing plug, if
required, and lubricate with oil.
6. Lubricate carbon face liberally with lube oil.
7. Reassemble housing plug into position over the
pump shaft. Do not nick seal face by hitting
pump shaft. Tighten the housing plug with
spanner wrench. Rotating seal will automatically
be positioned by this operation.
8. If pump is equipped with ball bearing, press
bearing onto shaft. Press on bearing inner race
with suitable sleeve. Do not hammer into
position or press on bearing outer race.
9. Check pump for free rotation by turning shaft
with suitable wrench. There will be a definite
resistance to turning because of the seal load.
The pump must turn freely without binding.
