KATADYN VARIO

The Intelligent Microfilter

4) Vario is leaking at seam between pumphead and filter housing:

Unscrew your Vario. Remove the ceramic prefilter disc and scrub with cleaning pad. Carefully remove the o-
ring at the upper end of the filter housing, lubricate it with a small amount of silicone lubricant and put it back
to the filter housing. Reassemble the filter and start pumping. 

5) Note: Axle pin in the pumphead: 

Before you start pumping, make sure that the axle pin is in the correct position and not loose. Especially after
cleaning the o-rings on the pistons, you should ensure that the axle pin is tightly fixed again. You can use a
coin to turn the axle pin back into the correct locked position.  

6) Note: red cover for activated carbon core: 

The activated carbon inside the filter cartridge needs to be covered with the green
foam and the red plastic lid. Do not insert the red cover too far, but stop when the up-
per edge of the lid is flush with the upper edge of the filter cartridge (see pictures).
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the o-ring on the red cover before put-
ting it back.
