ter element (9). See Parts on page 10. The filter ele-
ment (9) needs to be cleaned or replaced when the
indicator (3) is 3/4 red.

To reduce downtime, have a spare bowl (2), element
(9), and spring (7) on hand.
2.
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 7.

remove the filter plug (8); have a container ready to
catch the drainage.
4.
Remove the bowl (2), element (9), and spring (7).
