Remove and Replace the Compressor Intake Filter
Replace the compressor intake filter as needed. The compressor intake filter may become clogged
depending upon the amount of contaminants in the air (smoke, dust, dirt, pollen, etc.) and may need to be
changed more frequently. The most common cause of low concentration and eventual system failure is a
dirty or clogged compressor inlet filter. Environmental conditions usually determine the effective life of a
filter.
CAUTION:
Operating the Eclipse with a clogged compressor intake filter may
reduce performance and lead to system damage or premature failure.
NOTE:
Always cut head of cable ties to avoid nicking tubing.
To replace the compressor intake filter, follow these steps:
1. Cut the cable tie on the silicone tubes attached to the compressor intake filter.
Figure 23: Removing the Compressor Intake Filter.
2. Remove the silicone tubes attached to each end of the filter body.
3. Install a new filter by pushing each tube completely over the barb on the filter body.
