WARNING
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information
about your material, request MSDS forms from distributor or retailer.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine
manufacturer’s replacement parts only.

• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
• Keep children and animals away from work area.
• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin
and cause serious injury.

Installation
Installation
NOTE: Reference numbers and letters in parentheses
in the text refer to the callouts in the parts drawing. (See
page 5.)
1. Connect the inlet line to the inlet (A) on the side of
the filter.
2. Connect the outlet line to the outlet (B) on the bottom of the filter.
NOTE: The 1/4 npt port in the cover of the filter can
remain plugged or be used for pressure gauges or special fittings.
3. Some installations require electrical grounding of all
equipment. Follow your local electrical code.
4. Remove cover by loosening the cover eye-nuts (3).
Loosen the eye-nuts in the slotted corners so the
bolts swing down. Loosen the third eye-nut so the
top cover can swing open.
5. Put basket (2) into filter housing. Make sure the basket flange is seated firmly on top of the basket collar.
6. Put bag into the bag basket. Be sure the filter bag
ring is seated firmly on top of the basket flange. For
best results, be sure the filter bag extends to the
bottom of the basket.
Operation
Prior to turning on the flow to the inlet, check the
following:
1. Be sure a basket and filter bag (if applicable) are in
place. Clean or replace as necessary.
2. Be sure the filter cover is securely fastened to housing.
Slowly open the inlet line to approximately 25% of normal operational flow. When the filter is pressurized and
vented, slowly open outlet line valve until completely
open. Open inlet line to reach desired flow rate.
NOTICE
Inlet pressure must not exceed outlet pressure by
more than 15 psi (0.1 MPa, 1 bar). Operating the filter
with a high differential may cause filter bags to rupture,
causing damage to filter system and downstream
equipment.
To prevent excessive drop through the filter, regularly
inspect the basket and filter bag. Monitor the differential
pressure through the filter to determine whether the basket or filter bag needs to be cleaned or replaced.
7. Make sure that the cover gasket groove is clean and
free of debris. Put in cover seal gasket (1).
NOTE: If the cover has ever been tightened down, the
cover seal gasket must be replaced.
8. Close cover and alternately tighten the three clamp
assemblies (by small increments) to a recommended torque of 30-45 ft-lb (40-60 N•m).

Service
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Before removing, cleaning, or servicing the filter,
close the inlet and outlet ball valves and open the
fluid drain valve to relieve pressure.
1. Relieve all fluid pressure from the system. See the
Warning above and your pump/sprayer manual.
NOTE: In some applications, closing outlet valve is not
required.
2. Drain housing sufficiently to access filter basket (2).

3. Remove cover by loosening the cover eye-nuts (3).
Loosen the eye-nuts in the slotted corners so the
bolts swing down. Loosen the third eye-nut so the
top cover can swing open.
4. Remove filter basket (2) and clean thoroughly.
5. Remove the filter bag (if applicable, not shown) and
throw away. (Cleaning and reusing the filter bag is
not recommended.)
6. Thoroughly clean the inlet (A) to avoid interference
with cover seal or fluid flow.
7. Remove basket seal (if applicable) and inspect.
Replace if necessary.
8. Install clean filter basket and filter bag (if applicable). Put basket (2) into filter housing. Make sure the
basket flange is seated firmly on top of the basket
collar. Put bag into the bag basket. Be sure the filter
bag ring is seated firmly on top of the basket flange.
For best results, be sure the filter bag extends to the
bottom of the basket.
9. Make sure that the cover gasket groove is clean and
free of debris. Replace cover seal gasket (1).
