haust gas on the filter case.

The pressure of the compressed air can
be max. 5 bars and the nozzle shall not
be closer to the filter edge than 10 cm.
- Carefully blow out all the filter passag-
es.

peat the process on the other side as
well.

- Replace the filter element, taking care of the proper direction of flow.
