King Edge Preventive Maintenance
4-9
Inspect Air Filter/Regulator/Drain
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected.
The combination air filter/regulator with
automatic drain unit (Figure 4-13, A) located
inside the left endframe, should be inspected on
a weekly basis.
A visible coating of dirt or condensate on the
filter element surface or excessive pressure drop
is an indication that cleaning is necessary.
For instructions within this chapter on cleaning
the air filter/regulator, refer to the Semi-Annual
PM section, Clean Air Filter/Regulator/Auto
Drain procedure.
Check Air Pressure Settings
Maintaining proper incoming and internal air
pressures helps keep the machine operating at
peak efficiency.
Perform only when the unit is
RUNNING.
Use extreme caution.
WARNING
This procedure will require
that you work while the
machine is running with
pressurized air.
Use extreme caution.
Wear protective eyewear
when working with
compressed air components.
Move the left side of the unit and open the
left endframe door.
Turn ON the compressed air supply to
the unit.
Wait a few seconds and then, in the left
endframe, check the incoming air pressure
gauge (Figure 4-13, B) and make sure it is
set to 80 psi (550 kPa).
Close and secure the left endframe door.
Turn power ON at the main disconnect
switch.
