MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED
CLEANING OR EXCHANGING THE FILTER INSERT
The air filter insert can be cleaned with compressed air or water
with mild detergent, depending on the type of dirt.
The filter insert must be exchanged
if the control light lights up again only short time after cleaning,
if it was already cleaned six times or
after 2000 operating hours.
CLEANING WITH COMPRESSED AIR
DANGER
• Whirled up dust particles may hurt the eyes!
Wear goggles if you clean the filter cartridges with
compressed air.
• Dangerous dust particles may irritate the lungs!
Carry a dust-protection mask if you clean the filter cartridges
with compressed air.
Blow out the air filter cartridge with dry compressed air (max. 6
bars) starting with the interior and then proceeding to the outside.
The air nozzle is to be moved up and down the paper with a
minimum distance of 3 cm. You can stop the cleaning if no more
dust comes out.
Do not clean the cartridge by hitting it or by beating it against
other objects.
CLEANING WITH WATER OR DETERGENT
After the dust has been blown out, the filter cartridge can also be
additionally cleaned using warm water with a mild cleaning agent
(max. 50°C) to remove adhering oil, grease, soot, etc. For this
purpose, swing the cartridge back and forth in the solution.
Then, rinse the filter cartridge with clean water starting with the
inside and then proceeding to the outside (max. 3 bars) and let it
dry at a temperature of max. 50°C.
CHECKING THE FILTER INSERT
Usually, it is required to check each air filter insert before it is re-
installed. For this purpose, insert a into the insert and visually
check the filter paper against the transmitted light. If you detect
small holes or spots on which the paper is thin, the insert is
defective and must be replaced.
Check filter inserts for damaged seal.
NOTE
Also new filter inserts must be checked before they are assembled.
