AIR FILTER
Figure 6-1 – AIR FILTER
STANDARD DUTY AIR FILTER (Figure 6-1) - Replacement instructions are given in the following
sections:
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing
may be at high temperature during and after operation.
The air filter element can not be cleaned or reused.
Filter Element - The element should be replaced when inspection indicates an accumulation of dirt on
the outside of the element. Inspect every few days until experience determines the proper time interval
for servicing.
To Service:
1. Be certain the unit is off and that no air pressure is in the air/oil reservoir. The compressor package
will automatically blow down in about 2 minutes.
2. Close the air service valve located after the compressor package discharge.
3. Disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter.
4. Remove the air filter cover (Figure 6-1) and remove the old filter elements.
5. Clean the inside of the air filter housing.
