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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, page ii.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT:
• Socket Wrench
• 7/8-inch Socket
• Socket Extender (if needed)
• Rubber Mallet
PROCEDURE:
1. Ensure the O-ring is clean and properly seated on the
tank bottom. Seat the filter lid onto the tank bottom 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-inch socket wrench 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 5).
7. Close the drain plug at the bottom of the filter.
8. Follow Start-Up Instructions on page 6 exactly.
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.

do not touch then shut off pump and relieve
pressure and tighten the nut and tap filter clamp
until the coils touch.
