Also included are additional guidelines for troubleshooting air leakage in the Cyclone DuraDraintrailer water separator.

CYCLONE DURADRAINSERVICE INTERVALS

Experience should be used to determine how frequently the unit must be serviced. As a recommended minimum, every 12 months, 100,000 miles or 3,600 operating hours, perform the Operational and Leakage Tests. As indicated in the Service Data Sheet, inspect the Cyclone DuraDrainunit for unrestricted airflow and blockage from debris collection. Remove the purge nut and service according to the “Disassembly and Cleaning” instructions.
