Check the differential pressure on the pre-filter, which should not exceed 10
PSID. Values greater than this indicate that the filter cartridge must be
changed.

Check the differential pressure on the after-filter, which should not exceed 10
PSID. Values greater than this indicate that the filter cartridge must be
changed.

Check the backpressure at the silencer placed behind the exhaust valve, it
should not exceed 5 PSIG. Use the gauge of the vessel that is to be
regenerated.
