Counting in either direction to find where to install a filter sounds like 
an approach that is very prone to errors. I don't have a K3 so I can't check 
its innards, but wouldn't it make more sense to use some sort of (silk 
screen?) labelling where the filters are placed with labels like "Filter 1", 
"Filter 2", or just "F1", "F2"? The information for installing a filter can 
then use the labels when indicating where it needs to be (or can be) placed.
