Replace the gas filter element
1. Turn OFF the power, disconnect the power cord, and make sure the gas supply is
disconnected.
2. Position the rear of the power supply so the removable gas filter bowl is easily accessible.
3. Grasp the filter bowl with your right hand.
4. Push down the thumb latch and rotate the filter bowl approximately 45 degrees to the right.
5. Pull the filter bowl straight down to remove. You can see the white filter element and retaining
nut.
6. Unscrew (counterclockwise) the plastic retaining nut that secures the filter element.
7. Replace the dirty element with a new element. Reinstall (clockwise) the plastic retaining nut to
finger-tight only.

center. This is the same orientation in which the filter bowl was pulled down and removed.
9. Vertically align the filter bowl (with metal guard) and firmly push the filter bowl up to the top of
the receptacle to seat the bowl. It is helpful to lift the bowl with your left index finger under the
nut on the bottom of the bowl.

thumb latch click into place.
