4.3 Filter-Nozzle Replacement
The compressed air filter uses a special filter media that changes
color as contaminants are trapped. When the filter media changes
to a red color or air flow is restricted, filter-nozzle replacement is
indicated.
Figure 7. Top Gun Replacement Filter
Simco-Ion offers two types of replacement filters for Top Gun. The
standard filter is 99.97% coalescing retention of 0.3 to 0.6 micron
aerosols and 0.3 particulates. The filter has been chosen for the
best combination of filtering efficiency and allowable airflow. A
premium replacement filter is also available and has a 99.99%
coalescing retention and 0.01 micron particles (a greater restriction
of airflow, thus slower discharge times). See Section 5.2 Parts and
Accessories for ordering part numbers.
Disconnect line voltage from power unit and shut off compressed
air. Use a flat blade screwdriver with a blade width approximately 3/
16" (5 mm) to release the filter-nozzle. Insert the screwdriver
through filter view slot at top of gun, behind the back of the filter.
Push the handle of screwdriver forward with a gentle "prying"
motion. This will depress the lock collar behind the filter to release
filter, while ejecting the filter-nozzle out the front of the gun.
