OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:All parts mentioned below refer to parts shown on the reverse side of this instruction sheet.
1. For ease of use, and to avoid damage to the Mini Air Filter, it is recommended that the unit be mounted in a convenient location on the workbench or in the work area. This can be done by attaching the Mounting Bracket (part #22) to the side of the workbench or wall, using two wood or metal screws (not provided). (Figure A)
2. Once the Mounting Bracket has been attached to a desired location, unscrew and remove the Retaining Ring (part #23) from the top of the Mini Air Filter.

5. Attach a 1/4” NPT Male hose connector to one end of the outlet extension hose (to which you will connect a tool). Check to make sure the other end of the outlet extension hose is fitted with a quick coupler. Then, wrap the threads of the 1/4” NPT Male hose connector with approximately 3” of Teflon tape. Next, connect the 1/4” NPT Male hose connector to the outlet side of the Mini Air Filter.
6. Connect the quick coupler of the air outlet extension hose to the tool you are using. Turn on
the air compressor and regulate the desired PSI to the tool by pulling up and turning the Pressure Adjustment Knob (part #1) on the Mini Air Filter clockwise for reduced air pressure, or counterclockwise for increased air pressure. Press down on the knob to lock.
7. The Mini Air Filter is now ready for use. NOTE: Depending on usage, periodically examine the Drain Cup (part #11) for accumulated water that is being separated from the compressed air system. See Step one for instructions on draining the excess fluid from the Drain Cup.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. When the water level rises to the bottom edge of the Filter Mesh Mounting (part #9) within the Drain Cup (part #11) it is necessary to remove the excess fluid. To drain the fluid slowly turn the Water Valve Drain (part #14) counterclockwise until the fluid begins to flow from the Drain Cup. When all of the fluid has been drained turn the Water Valve Drain clockwise to tighten.
2. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth, using a mild soap with water if necessary. Then, dry.
