Filter Removal

Slowly pull the drum latches out and up from the drum. Lift the power head off the drum. Place the lid assembly to the side.

4. This action will cause the filter to release from the filter cage. Slide filter off cage.

WARNING: Do not remove the filter cage and float. The float prevents water from entering the impeller and damaging the motor.

The cage prevents fingers from touching the moving impeller.

Filter Installation

1. Carefully slide the filter over the filter cage and press down on the outside edge of the filter until the rubber gasket on the bottom of the filter seats securely around the base of the filter cage and against the lid.

2. Align the small center hole in the top of the filter over the threaded stud on the filter cage allowing it to protrude through.

NOTE: The filter will take the shape of the oval filter cage when in place.

3. Place filter nut onto threaded screw and tighten it down. Finger tighten only.

NOTE: Lever of filter nut should be away from filter cap as shown.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten as this may deform or crack the filter cage or filter.
