Cleaning the High FlowManual Air Relief Valve

1.Turn the pump off and shut off any automatic controls to ensure that the system is not inadvertently started during servicing.

2.OPEN THE HIGH FLOW™ MANUAL AIR RELIEF VALVE UNTIL IT SNAPS INTO THE FULL OPEN POSITION, THEN WAIT UNTIL ALL PRESSURE IS RELIEVED.

3.With the High Flow™ manual relief valve attached to the filter tank, pull out the locking tabs and remove the valve stem and cover assembly with a counter-clockwise and lifting motion, see Figure 3.

4.Clean debris from the valve stem and body. Ensure that the filter tank's air passage is open by inserting a 5/16 in. drill bit through the valve body. Ensure that the o-rings are in good condition, properly positioned, and lubricated with a silicone base lubricant.

5.Reinstall the valve stem and cover assembly with a downward and clockwise motion until it snaps into position.
