Adjustable Filter Wrench
The adjustable filter wrench provided is intended
to:
Help turn the valve handle to the “ON”, “OFF” or
“BYPASS” positions.
Remove the sump for easy filter changes.
TURNING THE VALVE HANDLE
The “Push/Slide” button on the wrench will need to be
pushed in and the slide moved up into the wrench ring
(See Figure 17) to fit on the valve handle.
The valve handle turns clockwise from the “ON” posi-
tion toward the “OFF” and “BYPASS” positions and,
counterclockwise from the “BYPASS” position toward
the “OFF” and “ON” positions (See Figure 18).
CAUTION: Forcing the valve handle beyond the “ON”
or “BYPASS” positions will damage the
valve (See Figure 16).
The valve has a pressure relief valve built in, so there
will be a small amount of water coming out from under
the top cap when the valve is being turned from position
to position.
REMOVING THE SUMP
The slide will need to be pushed back into the wrench
handle to clear the wrench ring (See Figure 19). Push in
the “Push/Slide” button on the wrench, and push the
slide back into the wrench handle.
IMPORTANT: Remember to turn the valve to “BYPASS”
or “OFF” before removing the sump.
To remove the sump, turn it to the left (See Figure 14 on
Page 11).
