Replacing the filter element on the fluid filter
To change the filter elements, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the FAM at the main switch and make
sure it cannot be inadvertently switched back on.
2. Close all shut-off valves at the inlet and outlet.
3. Unscrew the air bleed screw (x) completely using
a 10 mm Allen wrench.
4. (1) Have a suitable drip tray on hand to catch the
fluid.
(2) Open the drain fitting, and collect the escaping
fluid in the tray.
Once the housing has been completely drained,
close the drain fitting.
3. Screw in the air bleed screw (x) by hand in a
clockwise direction, and tighten it firmly using a
10 mm Allen wrench.
