Filtration
The unit is equipped with two filter housings which can be fitted with a range of media for removing
particulate and water contamination.
If using only particle filters, it’s best to stage the filtration, i.e. a
5µm first followed by a 3µm. If a water filter is being used alongside a particulate filt
er it’s best to fit
the particulate filter first to protect the water absorbing filter from blocking prematurely.
To change a filter element:
1)
Make sure the air supply is disconnected from the unit.
2)
Open the drain port and collect the oil/fuel into a suitable waste container.
3)
Remove the v-band clamp and filter bowl, along with the old filter element.
4)
Fit the new element to the filter head and replace the bowl and v-band clamp. The v-band
clamp should only need to be tightened by hand.
5)
Close off the drain valve before running the system.
Differential Pressure Gauge
The unit comes with differential pressure gauges that gives an indication of the filter condition via a
green, yellow and red visual indication.
