Replacing the filter elements 

To change the filter elements, proceed as follows: 

1. 

Switch the pump off and close the shut-off 
valves at the inlet and outlet. 

 

2. 

Depressurize the filter housing. 
Carefully unscrew the air bleed screw (x) in the 
cover counterclockwise using a 10 mm Allen 
wrench. 
The air bleed screw has ventilation slots. 

 

3. 

Open the drain valve on the dirt side and collect 
the escaping fluid with a suitable container. 
Once no more fluid escapes, close the drain 
valve. 

 

4. 

Undo the tensioning clamps between the cover 
and the topmost intermediate piece with the aid 
of a SW 13 mm open-end wrench. 

5. 

Remove the cover and place it on a clean 
surface. 

 

6. 

Pull off both cotter pins 

[A]

 and remove the 

element holding plate 

[B]

 

[A] 

[B]

 

7. 

Remove all filter elements and dispose of them 
in accordance with local regulations. 

 

8. 

Clean the inside of the filter housing. 

 

9. 

Wet the O-ring on each filter element with fluid. 

 

10.  Insert the new filter elements into the element 

mount by rotating them slightly while applying
