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.

To prevent potential injury, a licensed electrical contractor should be engaged to install or modify
any electrical connections in compliance with local, regional, or pertinent international electrical
and safety codes, statutes or directives.

The following document is used in conjunction with the puraDYN Bypass Oil Filtration System Installation
Manual 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 a PFT24/MTS24 Bypass Oil Filtration System
on a Caterpillar C15 or 3456 Generator Set Package.

Picture 1 (Before Installation) Picture 2 (After Installation- PFT, 01-70001 Example)

Mounting the Unit: The PFT24/MTS24 bypass oil filtration system should be mounted to the engine flywheel housing
above the engine support mount located on right hand side of engine. Use the 5/8-inch hex bolts provided in the part
number 15-70119 bolt kit to secure Mounting Plate ‘Z’ Support (part number 24-00109). In the case of an engine
equipped with a heater, remove the bottom two bolts on the heater bracket and place the ‘Z’ mounting plate over
the heater bracket and re-secure both heater and ‘Z’ mounting plate with the bolts initially removed. (See Pictures 3, 4,
5, below)

Mounting the pressure switch (01-70001 App Kit only):

The pressure switch comes in a pre-assembled kit with appropriate
mounting bracket, rubber-dampener, with additional mounting hardware
and protective gear. Find a proper location to mount the bracket and
install in the designated location. Measure appropriate hose lengths, cut
and assemble (2) 3/16” supply hose assemblies, using materials provided in
the part number 15-70089 kit, attaching to the (2) 90o fittings on the pressure
switch- one hose will route to the shut-off valve (fitting that installs into the
engine’s oil supply port) and route the other hose to the metering jet
assembly attached to the bottom of puraDYN unit.

For wiring instruction please see following pages (pp. 5, 8), and the
pressure switch manual- part
number 19-00164

Picture 6 (Assembled Kit)

Installing the pressure fittings: Install the shut-off valve using supplied fittings from part number 15-00406 parts kit (for 01-
70001 App Kit) or 15-00426 (for 01-70001MTS App Kit) (Picture 7,8). Assemble (2) 3/16” ID supply hose assemblies using
supplied hose and field-attachable hose fittings provided in the part number 15-70089 Hose Kit (for 01-70001 App Kit) or
15-70089M (for 01-70001MTS App Kit). Route (1) supply hose assembly to the shut-off valve on the engine, and connect
line to fitting end of shut-off valve. Connect other end of supply hose assembly to the pressure switch(for 01-70001 App
Kit), attaching hose end fitting to ¼” MJIC end of 90° fitting on one side of pressure switch assembly. Attach 2nd
pressure hose assembly to other 90° fitting on pressure switch assembly (for 01-70001 App Kit), and connect other end
to the puraDYN Unit, (after installing Metering Jet Assembly) by fastening hose end fitting to the ¼” MJIC fitting on end
of Metering Jet Assembly.

Note: for 01-70001MTS kit, install single oil supply hose assembly directly from (-4 male ORFS end of) shut-off valve to the
puraDYN Unit, connecting hose end fitting to -4 male ORFS fitting on the end of 90° supply fitting on the MTS24 bypass
filter unit.

Installing the Return Line: Remove the oil drain plug valve on the side of the oil pan. After draining the engine oil and
cleaning all surfaces, install the tee fitting assembly supplied in the part number 15-70050 or part number 15-70060 (for
01-70001MTS App Kit) Return Fitting Kit Bag into the oil pan drain port as shown in Picture 9. Install the part number 14-
00053 ¾ NPT x ¾ JIC fitting (part number 14-00297 M22-1.5 x -12 ORFS fitting- for 01-70001MTS Kit) supplied in the part
number 15-70050 Return Fitting Parts bag (part number 15-70060- for 01-70001MTS Kit), into the return port at the base of
the bypass filter unit. Assemble (1) 5/8” ID return hose assembly using supplied hose and field-attachable hose fittings
provided in the part number 15-70089 Hose Kit (for 01-70001 App Kit) or 15-70089M (for 01-70001MTS App Kit). Connect
(1) end of the return hose assembly to the tee fitting assembly and route other end of return hose assembly to the
bypass 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

Wiring the puraDYN Heater (01-70001 App Kit only):

Disconnect the battery and/or power supply. Route wire harness from the puradyn bypass filter to the oil pressure
switch and connect as instructed in the oil pressure switch-wiring diagram (see wiring information for Puradyn 110/220
volt heating element at end of this document, page 8.) Then connect the oil pressure switch wiring to the 110/220-volt
power source.

Final Process before engaging full operation:

Tie off all lines with tie wraps. Fill engine with oil. Start engine and check all connections for oil leaks. Open metering jet
sample valve and verify that oil flow is present. After five minutes of engine operation, carefully touch the bottom
center of the PFT bypass oil filtration unit and verify that it is warm to the touch. Shut engine off and check oil level.
Place puraDYN Installation Manual (PFT8 through PFT60) and this 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:

1) 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 (PFT MODEL-01-70001 App Kit only)

a. Remove 90° fitting from metering jet body.

b. Carefully remove metering jet screen.
c. Clear loose debris from screen, right angle fitting, and metering jet body with high pressure air.
d. Soak screen in solvent until clean.
e. Reinstall clean screen into metering jet body.
f. Reinstall 90° fitting to original position.

2) Oil coming out of vapor tube:

• If there is a sharp bend, dip or trap in return hose, re-route hose to eliminate. (Oil returns by gravity.)
• Make sure the oil return line is always dropping into a non-pressurized location on the engine.
• For best results, the oil return line should be located below the oil level in pan.
• If oil comes out of vapor tube, the problem could be internal backpressure from a malfunctioning engine
and must be corrected by the engine dealer.

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
• TBN & TAN
• Wear metals
• Contaminant levels
• Oil operating condition

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.
