counterclockwise with an open-
jaw wrench (50 mm).
2. Remove the strainer insert (3)
and clean it.
3. Check strainer insert (3) and
sealing ring (2) on the screw plug
for damage. Replace it if
necessary.

and tighten it using the open-jaw
wrench (50 mm).
6. Check the suction strainer fitting
for leaks after commissioning.
