USE AND CARE IN SERVICE
1. Let the filter run with the air supply on. Ensure that the pressure to the air
inlet of the filter from the air line does not exceed the maximum pressure
specified.
2. The filter is equipped with a manual drain. Depress the manual drain valve
to drain accumulated liquid from inside the bowl. Drain the liquid
whenever necessary and always keep the liquid below the filter element.
3. The filter element should be replaced when the pressure drop across the
element exceeds 15 psi. When an excessive pressure drop across a
saturated but uncontaminated element occurs, it may indicate that the air
tool being operated exceeds the maximum flow rate (CFM) of the filter (6.5
CFM). Refer to the maximum flow rate of your filter and make sure that the
required CFM of the air tool is within the maximum flow rate of your filter for
best tool operation.
MAINTENANCE
DISASSEMBLY
The filter can be disassembled without removal from air line.
1. Shut down the compressor and vent the inlet pressure to reduce pressure in
the inlet and outlet lines to zero.
2. Remove the bowl by pushing into the body and turning counterclockwise.
3. Disassemble in general accordance with the parts illustrated. Do not
remove the drain unless replacement is necessary. Remove and replace
only if it malfunctions or if converting to auto drain.
CLEANING
1. Unscrew and remove the bowl
assembly and the filter element.
2. Clean all components with soap
and water only.
3. Rinse and dry all parts. Blow out
internal passages in the body with
clean, dry compressed air.
4. Inspect all parts and replace any
found to be damaged.
