6.4 Maintenance, Inline Clean Air Kit
With the Inline Clean Air Kit, the fan on the side of the HDV300/400 is replaced with a panel and
fittings to allow the use of pressurized air to keep the internals of the machine clean. Pressure between
8 and 15 psi has been found to be effective at sufficiently pressurizing the housing to prevent the
ingress of dust, particulates, oil vapors, and similar such as found in machine shop environments.
Air entering the machine must be clean and dry. It is recommended that air coming from the
compressor be passed through a filter and dryer. The filter/moisture collector provided with the kit is
designed as a failsafe to prevent damage to the machine should the method to filter and clean the air
from the compressor fail.
DO NOT RELY ON THE SUPPLIED FILTER AS THE SOLE MEANS OF CLEANING THE AIR FOR
THE MACHINE.
Regularly check the openings of the
machine to ensure that the housing is
pressurized. If air is not felt escaping from
openings, increase the pressure going to the
machine.
Though testing has shown between 8 and 15
psi sufficiently pressurized the housing,
differences in equipment and conditions may
require more than 15 psi to pressurize the
housing to an adequate level.
Excessive air pressure is not necessary.
Periodically check the filter for contaminants
and appearance of filter element.
If moisture is present, drain the filter by
removing the black plug at the bottom of the inline filter as shown in Figure 16.
Should the filter element appear damaged in any way replace it immediately.
