Installing the Filter Lid and Clamp Ring

Follow these instructions exactly to prevent the lid from separating from the filter during system start-up or operation.
(See Important Warnings and Safety Instructions, page i-ii).
REQUIRED TOOLS:
• Ratchet Wrench
• 7/8" Socket
• Socket Extender (if needed)
• Rubber Mallet
PROCEDURE:
1. Be sure the O-ring is clean and in position in the lower
tank half. Press the FullFloXF
lid onto the lower half so the O-ring fits in between the
tank halves.
2. Hold the ends of the clamp ring apart and place over
both upper and lower tank flanges. Bring the ends of the
filter clamp together.
3. Insert the T-bolt through the other side of the clamp and
hold together.
4. Place the small washer onto the T-bolt.
5. Place the spring, large washer and barrel nut onto the
T -bolt and tighten the nut by hand. Be sure the clamp
ring fits easily on the tank flanges.
6. After tightening by hand:
a. Use a 7/8 in. wrench (ratchet wrench
recommended) to tighten further.
b. Tap around the outside of the clamp ring with a
rubber mallet (or similar tool) multiple times around
the entire clamp to fit the clamp properly.
c. Continue to tighten until the spring coils touch.
d. Tap around the entire clamp again and verify the
spring coils remain touching. If not, continue to
tighten the nut.
Note: The clamp is installed correctly only when the
spring coils remain touching after tapping the clamp. See
Figure 7.
7. Close the waste drain plug at the bottom of the filter.
8. Follow Start-Up Instructions exactly (see page 7).
DO NOT tighten the nut or attempt to adjust the clamp ring or lid while the system is turned on or under pressure. This
could cause the lid to separate from the filter
