then tighten. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Close manual override if automatic drain or manual drain valve
(petcock); then slowly open inlet and outlet shutoff valves.

After all pressure is out of filter, grasp filter bowl firmly with both
hands (models F200-15-1/4 through F200-55-1/2) or place
strap wrench around the bowl (models F200-85-3/4 through
F200-1000-3). Turn bowl counterclockwise as you face the
bottom to unscrew from filter head. If preferred, strap wrenches
can be used on all bowls. Make sure that the bowl does not
drop. 3.

IMPORTANT
TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION FROM EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE DROP AND MINIMIZE CHANCE OF CONTAMI-
NANT CARRYOVER, INSTALL NEW ELEMENT WHEN
PRESSURE DROP REACHES 10 PSID (EXCEPT GRADE
RD). INSTALL NEW RD ELEMENTS WHEN HYDROCAR-
BON VAPORS ARE FIRST DETECTED DOWNSTREAM OR
AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS.
ON MODELS F200-600-3 AND LARGER, PROVIDE SUP-
PORT UNDER BOWL BEFORE REMOVING. BOWL IS
HEAVY AND COULD CAUSE INJURY IF ALLOWED TO
FALL.
