INSTALLING DECALS (Tank Upper Half Only):
1. Make sure replacement upper half is clean and dry. Apply decals as shown.
2. Read warning and operating instruction decals.
DISASSEMBLY:
1. STOP PUMP; CLOSE isolation valves. OPEN air release valve and
drain fitting. Drain all water from tank.
2. WAIT until all pressure is released and water drained from filter tank and
system before loosening Safe-Lok™ Ring.
3. Remove Safe-Lok™ ring as follows:
a. Press safety latch (below the ring) toward tank to release it (Figure 1).
b. Hold latch in the release position and rotate ring COUNTERCLOCKWISE
to remove. If ring is difficult to turn, tap gently with a rubber mallet.
NOTICE: DO NOT use a screwdriver or sharp blade to pry tank shells apart.
4. Separate upper and lower tank shell halves using tabs on bottom of
Safe-Lok™ ring. Insert tab into slot located at tank joint and twist ring to pry
shell halves apart (See Figures 2 and 3).
5. Remove O-ring from upper tank shell. Inspect for cuts, cracking,
deformation or signs of wear; replace if necessary.
NOTICE: To avoid strain or damage, allow filter module to drain before
lifting it out of the tank.
6. When replacing lower tank half, install internal tank parts in new tank.
Connect to plumbing as in original installation.
(Continued on back of sheet)

ASSEMBLY:
1. Inspect and clean the tank, ring threads and O-ring groove. Replace
damaged parts as necessary.
2. Install the filter module with the unplugged port over the tank outlet port.
Push down firmly to seal.
3. Ensure that the air bleed assembly on top of the module is clean and
properly mounted.
4. Lubricate O-ring only with the silicone grease provided or equivalent (Dow
Corning grade 111), as other lubricants may cause the ring to swell. DO
NOT lubricate Safe-Lok™ ring or threads on lower tank shell as this may
collect grit and make removal difficult.
5. Install the O-ring in the upper tank shell. Be sure that the O-ring is clean
and not twisted.
6. Push the upper tank shell into the lower tank shell to compress the O-ring.
7. Place the Safe-Lok™ ring squarely over the tank shell threads and rotate
COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the ring falls into the slots; then rotate
CLOCKWISE until securely latched (See Figure 4).
Safety Latch (See Figure 5)
NOTICE: The safety latch locks the Safe-Lok™ ring in position. DO NOT operate
the filter if the safety latch is damaged or will not hold the Safe-Lok™ ring in the
locked position. If the latch is damaged, replace it as follows:
1. Press down on the small catch behind the safety latch and press or tap the
latch out of the “Tee” slot in the tank (See Figure 5).
2. Snap the new latch into position.
START-UP
Be sure pump is OFF before starting procedure.
Do not operate this filter at more than 50 PSI (345 kPa) under any
circumstances!
1. Lock the Safe-Lok™ ring in place by rotating ring CLOCKWISE until one of
the ring tabs is captured by the safety latch. See Figure 4.
2. Fill trap on pump with water.
3. Open air release valve on top of filter; open isolation valves.
4. Start pump to purge air from system. When a steady stream of water comes
from air release valve, close the valve.
NOTICE: Leaking around the Safe-Lok™ ring may indicate that the ring is
not fully locked. In this case, make sure the O-Ring and seat are clean and
undamaged, and then again follow the instructions in this sheet under
“Disassembly” and “Assembly”.
