filter cartridge and tip installation instructions
1 . Remove existing tip and old filter . Replace existing o-rings, if damaged .
2 . Verify probe is clean . Use dry shop air to blow out both ends of the probe, if possible .

filter cleaning instructions:
Check the filter regularly for dirt, debris, or moisture . If the filter element appears

discolored or dirty, remove it from the probe assembly, and tap it squarely on a clean,

hard surface several times to dislodge contaminants . If the filter still has a discolored

or dirty appearance, replace it with a new one .
caution: Do not reverse the direction of the filter in the probe assembly. Doing

so can cause sensor failure and contamination of the probe assembly. Do not

operate the tool without a clean filter installed.
If the filter becomes clogged with liquid, do not attempt to clean and re-use it . Replace

it immediately with a new filter . Failure to do so can contaminate the probe assembly

and damage the sensor .
The sensor can be damaged by debris or moisture pulled through the probe, so it is

important to check the filter often and replace it when necessary . Damages caused by

the user's failure to replace filters when required are not covered under warranty.
