12.5 Filter Replacement
Used filters must not be cleaned
but must be replaced by new ones.
Attempting to clean destroys filters.
The intervals in which the filter
cartridges need replacing will depend
essentially on the amount of dust
contained in the air.
Regular filter replacement serves to
preserve the high quality of the
compressed air over a longer period
of time apart from enhancing the
service life of the compressor.
Subject to proper installation (refer to
Section 8.1 "Environmental
Conditions"), we recommend that all
filters on the compressor and the dry-
air system be replaced
once a year
.
