Abstract
A filtration system comprising a manifold and a filter having fittings, wherein a carriage supporting the filter is operatively associated with a mounting mechanism to move the fitter between a position in which the filter is spaced from the manifold and a position in which a fitting of the filter engages a fitting of the manifold. The mounting mechanism includes a pivotable lever arrangement. The pivotable lever arrangement includes a lever, a pivot pin, and a pin and slot assembly. The lever pivots about the pivot pin and the pin of the pin and slot assembly slides between a first location and a second location in the slot.
