6.2.2 Attaching the filter plate clamp
Step 1
Screw the pin for the filter plate clamp into the
inner hole at the rear of the filter support plate.
Step 2
Loosen the locking knobs on the filter support plate
and gently pivot it until the filter plate is aligned
under the filter vessel. Now raise the support plate
until the flange on the filter vessel neck and the
flange on the filter plate meet and are flush (some
lateral adjustment may be required to fully align
the flanges). This is best achieved by supporting the
front of the support plate whilst applying upward
pressure to the support leg.
Step 3
Once in position, hand-tighten the two locking
knobs on the support plate. Then move the safety
stop collar directly under the support plate and
hand-tighten the locking knob.
Step 4
You will now need to attach the filter plate clamp.
The filter plate clamp comes in two parts.
Attach the first part of the clamp to the filter
support plate by hooking it over the raised pin at
the rear of the support plate.
