Once the filter is clean, carefully reinsert it back into the septic tank. Ensure it slides smoothly into its designated slot and the T-handle is properly aligned and seated. Next, retrieve the septic lid. Notice that the lid has small grooves or indentations around its edge. These grooves must align with the corresponding screw holes in the septic tank frame. Once aligned, place the screws back into their holes and use the impact driver to tighten them. Remember not to over-tighten, as the lid is made of plastic, and snug is sufficient.
