Cart Inlet Strainer
Refer to Figure 16
The cart uses an in-line strainer to keep damaging par-
ticulates out of the system, and reduce the workload of
the strainer at the pump (which has a smaller screen
size).
The inlet strainer becomes clogged over time, reducing
material loading rate. Plan to clean the strainer several
times per season. Don’t wait for loading problems to
arise. Higher quality liquid fertilizers may require less fre-
quent cleaning.
Disassemble and clean the strainer prior to storage to
prevent caking.
Filter Removal
1. For the SML-1000 Gallon Cart or the SML-500 Gal-
lon Cart, the tank must be empty for inlet filter
removal. The tank discharge valve
only protects
the cart outlet line and not the inlet line.
1. For the SML-750 Gallon Cart, close the discharge
valve
. The tank does not need to be empty.
2. Place a pail or bucket under the filter. It will be full of
fluid. The hose line from inlet shut-out valve to tank
may also contain fluid.
3. Unscrew and remove the canister cap . Drain the
fluid. Be careful to preserve the small gasket.
4. Unscrew and remove the canister body . Be careful
to preserve the filter screen screen gaskets and
large canister gasket.

5. Inspect O-ring gaskets. Replace gaskets if torn or
excessively worn.
6. Inspect filter cartridge (which also has O-ring
gaskets) Wash the filter cartridge with water, or
replace with new cartridge if necessary. Replace if
screen is separated, torn, punctured, or build-up
cannot be removed.
7. Reinstall the cartridge, canister, and plug cap.
