Customer Care Alert:

The owner/operator of this equipment is responsible for proper installation, care, maintenance,
product registration and usage as outlined in the puraDYN Bypass Oil Filtration System Installation
Manual.

The following document is used in conjunction with the puraDYN Bypass Oil Filtration System Installation Manual (part
number 19-00134) that is included in the unit box, and as such, should be considered a supplemental source of information.
Furthermore, this document covers the installation of an MTS-DL 240 Bypass Oil Filtration System on a Caterpillar D398
Generator Set Package.

Actual Kit Materials not Shown

Mounting the Unit:

The Bypass Filter Unit should be mounted at the location as shown in Picture 2, for rail-mounted set-ups. Prepare the
mounting holes on the frame as shown in Pictures 3 & 4, by using the mounting plate (part# 24-00110) as a template for bolt
locations. The mounting plate will also have (4) studs protruding, allowing the filter unit bottom frame to be bolted to the
plate. Secure the filter unit using bolt hardware provided in the part number 15-70120 bolt kit.

Installing the Pressure Fittings:

Install the ball type shut-off valve to engine using supplied fittings as shown in Picture 5. Assemble (1) 3/16” ID supply hose
assembly using supplied hose length and field-attachable hose fittings provided in the part number 15-70081M Hose Kit.
Route the supply hose assembly to the shut-off valve on the engine. Connect line to the -4 Male ORFS fitting end of shut-off
valve. Connect other end of supply hose assembly to the puraDYN Unit, by fastening hose end fitting to the -4 Male ORFS
fitting on the one end of FPS Manifold Assembly (see Picture 6).

Installing the Return Line:

Locate and remove the front alternate dipstick cover on the right-hand side of the engine. Replace the cover with the Return
Fitting Assembly (includes new gasket) provided in this application kit- P/N 15-70087, as shown in Picture 7, 8. Assemble (1)
5/8” ID return hose assembly using supplied hose length and field-attachable hose fittings provided in the part number 15-
70081M Hose Kit. Connect (1) end of the return hose assembly to the Return Fitting Assembly and route other end of return
hose assembly to the filter unit’s return fitting, and connect. The oil return hose assembly must be routed to assure it does not
come in contact with any sharp edges or moving parts; make sure hose is routed in downward slope, with no kinks or
traps, to oil pan. Oil is returned by gravity (SEE INSTALLATION MANUAL). Secure in place with clamps if necessary.
Drain the engine oil and clean all surfaces.

Note: Properly orient the fitting in order to avoid damage from debris.
Note: If necessary, cover the oil return hose with a secondary hose (or equivalent) to better protect it from potential damage.

Testing the By-pass System:

Clean all surfaces and wipe off oil. Check all fittings tightness. Check operation of shut-off and sampling valve. Tie off all lines
with tie wraps. Fill engine with oil. Start engine and check all connections for oil leaks. Press FPS Manifold’s sample valve and
verify that oil flow is present. After five minutes of engine operation, touch the bottom center of the Bypass Oil Filtration unit
and verify that it is warm to the touch. Shut engine off and check oil level. Place puraDYN Installation Manual in the
documentation holder mounted to the equipment.

TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION

The puraDYN system has been engineered in a quality system certified to ISO 9001. It is manufactured from the highest quality
materials available with superior workmanship. If, however, your puraDYN unit is not functioning properly, check the following
conditions as indicated:

Restricted oil Flow:

• Pressure line may be clogged ............................... blow line out with high air pressure (do this first)
• Shutoff valve maybe closed ................................... open valve
• Filter may be dirty and clogged ........................... replace with new filter
• Metering jet screen maybe clogged .. clean screen thoroughly
• If metering jet is clogged ........................................ clean metering jet thoroughly

Cleaning the Metering Jet Assembly (MTS-DL Models)

Locknut

1) Loosen locknut, which 2) Loosen hose fitting, to 3) Loosen (adjustment) locknut 4) Clean port internals &
secures FPS Manifold disconnect ‘Inlet Plumbing Hose on 90 Degree fitting, then rotate metering jet screen with

Oil Analysis Procedures

The Puradyn Filter Technologies Oil Management Program includes an oil analysis schedule that assists our
customers in achieving the benefits of extended oil drain intervals and longer service life for their engines and
equipment.

Oil analysis is the key to achieving the benefits that result from optimized oil life (with reasonable safety
precautions) and extended drain intervals. In addition, oil analysis is the only economical way to measure wear or
contamination in the engine or equipment. Of primary importance is the interpretation of the test data, which is
easy to read and self-explanatory.

The Puradyn oil analysis is conducted by an independent laboratory and is reported in an easy to understand
format, which includes the following data of the oil:

• Spectrophotometric Analysis
• Wear Metals
• TBN & TAN
• Oil condition
• Contaminant levels

This analysis should be conducted in order to monitor and evaluate the lubrication system. The oil analysis can
present warnings of any existing or potential problems, along with measuring the performance of the puraDYN
system.
