TECHNICAL INFORMATION
1. Remove the filter (26) from the inlet flange (28).
2. Clean the filter using an aqueous solution and dry with hot air.
3. Put the filter back in place.
CAUTION
The filter element is designed to prevent solid particles in the air from entering the inside of the pump and if it
is not working properly, serious damage could be caused the pump’s inner parts. In such cases, it may be
worthwhile installing a large surface area filter in the pump's suction line to improve effectiveness and reduce
maintenance frequency.
If the pump sucks in gases and vapors that contain large quantities of solid particles, the filter must be
checked and cleaned more often than indicated here.
