FF-250 Series Filter Maintenance
All coalescing/ particulate filters
should be checked regularly to ensure that the element is in good
condition. The element should be replaced if it appears to be dirty or begins to cause a flow
restriction in the system.
- Loosen the bolt on the bottom of the
filter housing.
- Pull the assembly apart gently and
remove the filter element.
- Install the glass shell on the bottom
piece.
- Place the new element into the
grooves in the top and bottom of the housing. Make sure
that the element is seated correctly and parallel to the
glass shell.
- Inspect the o-rings on the top and
bottom pieces and on the center bolt.
- Carefully mate the bottom assembly
onto the top piece. A slight twisting motion may be
required to allow the shell to slip over the o-ring
seal.
- Visually make sure that the element
is seated correctly in the top groove.
- Replace the bolt through the hole in
the bottom piece and screw clockwise into the tip piece.
Be careful not to over-tighten the center bolt. It
should be just tight enough as to not vibrate loose.
Over-tightening will not help the filter to seal and
will not increase performance. It may cause the glass
shell to crack or cause other damage.
