Electric Lock-Off/Filter Assembly - Functional Test

The electric lock-off can be easily tested to verify that it
is functional. Remove it from the system for testing.
Using a 12 volt power supply or battery, connect one
wire lead to the positive (+) lead of power supply, and
touch remaining wire lead to negative (-) lead of power
supply. When connection is made, an audible "click"
should be heard indicating the opening of the lock-off.
While energized, blow compressed air through it to
determine if it is blocked or restricted.

Electric Lock-Off/Filter Assembly - Filter Service

The filter inside the lock-off assembly should be
replaced every 500 hours of operation, or if it
becomes blocked or restricted. Cleaning of the filter
element is not recommended. Order a replacement
filter element by the appropriate Kohler part number.
