to drain water and dirt from the air filter (2).
2. If equipped, check the automatic drain valve (17)
periodically during the day for proper operation.

Replace the filter element as follows.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the filter head (5)

2. If a shut-off valve is not provided, open the drain valve
on the air tank(s) and on the filter to vent the air system.
