Tempest Platinum Fluid Pump Filter Change
Filter Kit Part Number KIT-P1 (Universal - Fits all Aero Accessories Platinum Pumps)
Includes: Filter P/N 79729, Gasket P/N 79136 & O-Ring P/N 79139-2
Change the pump filter element when specified by the aircraft maintenance manual or when the pump
output/pressure diminishes (an event that may indicate a dirty clogged filter). To change the filter: Remove
the safety wire securing the removeable cap. Using an appropriate wrench, remove the cap (some fluid may run
out depending on the mounting orientation of the pump). Remove the filter element, gasket, and O-ring.
There is a small magnet inside the removeable cap. Inspect it and clean it as necessary. It can be removed from the
cap for cleaning. After cleaning, place it back in the center of the cap. Replace the O-ring. Replace the filter
element. Replace the gasket in the removeable cap. Install the cap. Turn it until the three securing lugs are
at the extreme (radiused) end of the slots in the cap. DO NOT STOP SHORT. Install the safety wire between the
cap and the adjacent fitting. Operate the pump and check for leaks. Prior to approving the aircraft for return to
service, correct any discrepancies found.
Use only Aero Accessories, LLC replacement filters with your Platinum pump. Filters supplied by other
manufacturers will not properly fit Aero Accessories, LLC’s Platinum pumps.
