 Observe Vacuum Gauge 3. two minutes after fluid appears in sight tube; The ini-
tial Vacuum reading will be determined by the elevation of the supply port 1. rel-
ative to the elevation of the fluid level in the tank being serviced. Make note of 
this first gauge reading. As the bag filter accumulates debris the vacuum reading 
will increase. When the gauge reading has increased 

8” 

Hg. above the initial 

reading; the filter bag needs to be changed.

 

 Observe the Pressure Gauge. When the gauge reads 22PSI, the coalescer filter 
needs changing.
