Water filter operation.

This is a new filter I have never delt with. I can't get the handle to move to shut it off. Is there a way to do it?

Possibly you have to pull up or push down on the handle as you rotate it to prevent accidental shutoff?

Yeah neither worked.

I pushed the red button to release the pressure and still can't move the lever.

Where the manual shows a wrench being used I'm guessing it takes a bit of beef to turn the handle. Do you have the handle which is also used to remove the filter housing?

When I change my water filter I just close the ball valve open a faucet to release the pressure put a bucket under the filter and unscrew it change the filter.
