3.5 Clamp Installation
1.
Be certain the o-ring is in position in the lower
tank half. Press the filter lid over the lower half
sandwiching the o-ring between the two halves.
2. Holding the ends of the filter clamp apart, position
the hinged segment of the filter clamp over both
upper and lower tank flanges. Bring the ends of the
filter clamp together.
3. Place the "T" nut and threaded rod assembly into
the clamp. Be sure the "T" nut is seated in the
clamp in the proper orientation (See Fig. 9).
4. Use a 9/16" socket on the tightening nut until the
clamp ring halves touch each other, or are within
1/16" (See Fig. 9)
but do not overtighten as the
clamp can break
. If unable to tighten as indicated,
do not operate the filter and
call a service
technician immediately
.
5. After the first week of operation, check the clamp
and retighten if necessary.
6. Check the filter clamp at least once a month.

2. Check that the drain plug for CL filters or drain
cap for CV filters is in place and tight.
3.
Check that the tank clamp is correctly seated and
tight (See Figs. 9 and 10).
4. Open the pump hair/lint pot lid and fill the pump
basket with water to prime the system. Replace the
lid. (You may have to do this several times on new
and seasonal start-ups.)
5.
Completely open the air release valve on the
gauge/air release assembly by turning the knob on
the back of the assembly fully counterclockwise
(do not remove the knob).
6. Be sure to open any filter isolation valves that
were installed in the system.
7.
Stand clear of the filter
and start the pump to
circulate water through the system. When a steady
stream of water starts to come out of the air release
valve, close the valve.
8.
Watch the pressure gauge to be sure that the
pressure does not exceed 50 psi (with clean
cartridges). If the pressure approaches 50 psi,
immediately turn the pump off and clean the
filter cartridges (see Section 6.3). If the pressure
remains high after cleaning the filter, refer to the
troubleshooting guide in Section 8 for possible
causes and solutions.
