7. Set the torque wrench at 180 to 200
in. lb. (20.3 to 22.6 Nm) by holding
the spring loaded lock collar down
and turning the handle until the 180
to 200 in. lb. (20.3 to 22.6 Nm)
mark aligns with the 0 (zero) mark
on the collar.
8. Rotate the handle slightly to spring
the lock collar back into place.
9. Attach the socket to the torque
wrench by firmly pressing the socket
onto the torque wrench drive.
10. Place the socket over one nut. With a
continuous motion, turn each nut
¼
turn, alternating between the nuts,
until the wrench clicks, which will
indicate it has reached the set force.

Cassette Stainless Steel Holder Assembly
1. Loosen the nuts on the tie rods of the holder and remove the nuts, washers and end plate.
2. Inspect the tie rods and nuts for signs of burrs or stripped threads. Replace any
damaged components. Nuts must turn freely on the tie rods to ensure proper
tightening of the holder.
3. Clean the manifold adapter plate (XXPEL3MAP) with an alcohol wipe.
4. Slide the manifold adapter plate onto the holder against the holder’s manifold
plate, with the solid light grey side labeled “Manifold Side” towards the manifold,
and the wings resting on the tie rods. Slide the manifold adapter plate directly
up against the stainless steel manifold.
5. Slide the Pellicon
®
3 cassette up against the manifold adapter plate. The dark
grey center with light grey perimeter of the manifold adapter plate should be up
against the Pellicon
®
3 cassette.
6. Slide a Pellicon
®
3 Cassette onto the holder.
7. Slide the end plate with the handle side up onto the tie rods.
8. Tie rod spacers (XX4200066) are available when operating the system with low
membrane area. Place enough spacers on each rod so that the length of exposed
threaded tie rod is less than the length of the hex socket. Replace the washers
and nuts. Hand tighten the nuts in a diagonal pattern.
NOTE
Uneven tightening of the nuts can damage the Pellicon
®
Cassette. Nonparallel
plates or compression of the filters at one end can cause leakage.
9. Tighten the nuts using the torque wrench and 15/16 in. deep hex socket supplied
with the Pellicon
®
Cassette Holder.
10. Set the torque wrench by turning the knurled locking collar clockwise or by pulling
the handle out to unlock. Turn the torque setting scale clockwise until the 350 in-lb
(40 Nm) mark on the torque scale is opposite the zero mark on the smooth collar.
Turn the knurled locking collar counterclockwise to lock.
