Maintenance
See Figure 2-37 for the following procedure.
Once every 1,000 hours or 6 months (whichever comes first)
clean the strainer plates and filter in the top of the air dryer as
follows.
NOTE: It may be necessary to shorten interval due either
to extremely dirty operating conditions or to an old
air compressor that is leaking oil into the system.
Low pressure in air system is an indication that
strainer plates and filter are plugged with dirt or oil.
1. Disconnect air lines and electric wires from air dryer.
2. Remove bolts connecting air dryer mounting bracket to
rotating bed and remove air dryer from crane.
3. Remove bolts from head of air dryer to expose strainer
plates and filter.

and blow dry.
