On those models with a band clamp, replace the band clamp
around the strainer cover and housing latching the T-bolt. Then
push the latch handle towards the filter housing. The T-bolt latch
does not need adjustment when installed. It is set at the factory for
proper clamp compression.
Bolted cover models require a torque sequence as follows: 12:00 to
6:00, 3:00 to 9:00, 11:00 to 5:00, and 2:00 to 7:00. Bolt torque
requirements are: 3/8” bolts (15 to 25 ft.lbs.), ½” bolts (45 to 55
ft.lbs.), and 5/8” bolts (80 to 100 ft.lbs.).
