To replace the pump filter (refer to Figure 43):
1 Connect the open tubing end that comes with the filter to the pump exhaust (2). Ensure that the
elbow connector on the pump filter is connected to the pump exhaust.
2 Replace the pump filter and secure with the screw (1).
3 Pass the tubing through the clip and connect it to the underside of the filter and slide the pump
filter into its plastic clip (3).
4 Replace the top cover of the module.
Performance Checks

Other factors to maximize uptime or reduce cost of ownership:
Electromechanical devices in general have limited life expectancies and failure rates higher than devices
with only electronic components. Thus, lower cost electromechanical devices such as pumps and
solenoids should be pro-actively considered for replacement.
We recommend exchanging the pump M1026-60330 after 6000 hours.
Changing the solenoids after 3000 hours will also maximize AGM uptime.
Any change in recommended exchange intervals will be communicated via Service Notes.
