4.8 COMPRESSOR & ENGINE AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
ELEMENT REPLACEMENT
1.Loosen the clamps that secure the dust cup to the body and remove the cover.
2.Empty the dirt from the dust cup.
3.Remove the element.
4.Clean the canister and dust cap with a damp cloth inside and out. DO NOT blow dirt out with compressor air.
5.At this time clean or replace the element.
6.Replace the element.
7.Reposition the cover and tighten the clamp, INSTALL WITH “TOP” UP.
8.Reset the air filter restriction indicator (if supplied) and the machine will be ready for operation.
CAUTION
WHEN CLEANING AN ELEMENT, THE ELEMENT WILL BE DAMAGED IF YOU EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM PRESSURE FOR COMPRESSED AIR (30 PSI/200 KPA).
CAUTION
DO NOT STRIKE THE ELEMENT AGAINSTANY HARD SURFACES AND POSSIBLY RUPTURE THE ELEMENT. NEVER BLOW DIRT OUT OF THE INTERIOR OF THE FILTER HOUSING. THIS MAY INTRODUCE DUST DOWNSTREAM OFTHE FILTER. INSTEAD, USE A CLEAN DAMP CLOTH. DO NOT OIL ELEMENT.
AIR FILTER ELEMENT CLEANING
The air filter element is cleaned by using compressed air. The maximum amount of times that an element should be cleaned is (2) times; however the element should be used no longer than a period of one(1) year without changing.
Prior to cleaning an element, check the element for damage. Damaged elements must be replaced.
When cleaning the element with compressed air, never let the air pressure exceed 30 PSIG (200 kpa). Reverse flush the element by, directing the compressed air up and down the pleats in the filter media from the “clean side” of the element. Continue reverse flushing until all dust is removed. Should any oil or greasy dirt remain on the filter surface, the element should then be replaced.
ELEMENT INSPECTION:
1.Place a bright light inside the element to inspect for damaged or leak.
2.Inspect all gaskets and gasket contact surfaces of the housing. Should faulty gaskets be evident, correct the condition immediately. If the clean element is to be stored for later use, it must be stored in a clean container.
3.After the element has been installed, inspect and tighten all air inlet connections prior to resuming operation.
