The filter should be checkedfor proper installation, verifying that all connectionsand clamps are secure according to the manufacturer’srecommendations.WARNINGTo avoid risk of property damage, severe personalinjury or death, verify that all power is turned offbefore starting this procedure.1. Release all pressure from the system and open thefilter pressure release valve.2.

Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump islocated below the water level, close the isolationvalves on the suction and discharge sides of thepump to prevent backflow of water.2. Turn the lid's locking ring counter-clockwise until'START' aligns with the ports. Carefully removethe lid. (You may use a tool for leverage.)CAUTIONA misaligned basket will cause the lid to beimproperly seated, allowing an air leak, which couldresult in pump damage.3. Lift the basket out of the pump.4. Dispose of the debris and thoroughly clean thebasket, making sure all the holes are open. Usinga garden hose, spray the basket from the outside tohelp clear the holes. Remove any remaining debrisby hand.5. Replace the basket in the pump by aligning theopening with the suction pipe. If aligned properly,the basket will drop easily into place. Do not forceit into place.6. Remove the lid seal and remove debris around thelid seal seat, as this can allow air to leak into thesystem. Clean the lid seal and place it on the lid.7. Replace the lid with locking ring. Hand-tightenthe lid to make an air-tight seal. Do not use anytools to tighten the lid: hand-tighten only.8. Verify that all valves have been returned to theproper position for normal operation.9. Open the pressure release valve on the filter, andmake sure it is clean and ready for operation.10.
