Venting varnish exchanger column 

 

 

 WARNING 

Hot fluid 

Risk of burns 

► 

Make sure that hot fluid can exit when 

bleeding. 

 
Bleed the varnish exchanger column through the air bleed screw (1) in the 

cover. 

Do not unscrew the air bleed screw 

(1) completely. It has ventilation slots. 
If fluid leaks out, tighten the air bleed 

screw (1) again. 

 

Bleed the housing every time you change the element or on draining. 
 

Bleeding the pre-filter and safety filter 

To bleed, carefully open the air bleed 

screw (Air Bleed) on the filter bowl 

cover. 
If fluid leaks out, tighten the air bleed 

screw (Air Bleed) again.
