- OPEN drain valve over a suitable container. Unscrew in a counter clockwise direction
- INCREASE the pump air pressure until a clean and steady flow of hot material flows from the drain valve.
- Reduce pump pressure to Zero. Lock out air supply. Leave drain valve open.
- Using a 16mm spanner (E – Z Filter) or a ½ inch spanner (Saturn In-Line Filter) to undo In-line Filter Fitting.
