Changing intervals for air filter cartridge
The operating conditions (e.g. coolant temperatures),
the operating modes and the quality of the intake air
(e.g. content of dust, content of gaseous foreign matter
such as SO2, solvent vapours, etc.) have a strong
influence on the service life of the filters (air filters, oil
filters, fine separators).
Where such conditions exist the filter element may
require changing more frequently.
Change the air filter as follows:
• Switch the screw compressor unit off and ensure
that it is depressurized, electrically isolate and
locked off.
• Pull snap latch outward and remove housing base.
• Detach air filter cartridge while slightly turning it.
• Carefully insert new air filter cartridge in the
housing.
• Close air filter with housing base. The snap latches
must click into position.

the type of valve:
• Slightly turn the valve cap (-2- Fig. 24) (1-2 turns),
and then re-close it.
