NOTE:
Assembly/Operational and Maintenance instructions for
The Emperor and Emperor 280 Power Filters are virtually identical.
For this reason, and in the interest of avoiding confusion, the sections
that follow feature diagrams for the Emperor model only. You will
find that the steps pictured are readily applicable to the Emperor
280 model as well. Most parts are preassembled and do not require
disassembly prior to installation. We recommend that you read the
Maintenance section that follows to familiarize yourself with the
overall operation of The Emperor and Emperor 280.
