Cleaning Suction Line Strainer
The suction line strainer should be cleaned every 30
days of operation. The element is a washable metal
element. If your waste oil is extremely dirty, this strainer
may need to be cleaned more frequently. Your vacuum
gauge will help you determine when the filter needs
cleaning. The vacuum gauge reading should not exceed
5" HG of vacuum. If it does, the strainer needs cleaning.
