FILTER ELEMENT INSTALLATION
Once the filter has been installed as per the Installation Guide and pressure tested, the filter
elements can now be fitted. To gain access to the inside of the filter to install the filter
elements, please follow the instructions below.
Removing doughnut shaped cover:
1. Remove the 6” filter cover retaining ring and red backing ring.
2. Remove “Clampco” ring clamp coupling from around doughnut shaped filter cover.
3. Remove doughnut shaped filter cover. If difficulty is experienced, gently insert a broad
screwdriver under the outer edge of the filter cover to relieve the “O” seal suction. Insert
the screwdriver more than
¼
” to avoid damaging the large “O” ring inside the filter
housing. You will now see six element holders, one in each of the filter pods and the
common discharge port. Cover the discharge port to prevent any ingress of debris and
remove each element holder.
4. Lightly lubricate the “O” rings on the element holders with a site approved lubricant and
attach the filter elements to the element holders by referring to the following drawing.
5. Once the filter elements are attached, place the six filter elements into the pods.
6. Generously lubricate the neck “O” ring.
7. Check that the filter cover “O” ring is correctly located in its groove around the
circumference of the filter body and replace doughnut shaped filter cover.
8. Replace “Clampco” ring clamp, red backing ring and 6” retaining ring, in that order.
