Cleaning the filter cartridge
Cartridges can be cleaned when required. Irrespec-
tive of this, they must be replaced at the latest after 2
years.
Cleaning can consist of blowing or, alternatively knok-
king.
Cleaning by blowing
DIAGRAM 9. Blowing through the filter cartridge
Using dry compressed air at no more than 5 bar, blow
at an angle from the outside through the surface of the
cartridge towards the folds. Subsequently carefully
blow out the interior.
Cleaning by knocking
DIAGRAM 10. Knocking the filter cartridge
After cleaning, push the hook-shaped pushbutton of
the service indicator inwards (colour changes from
red to colourless). The service indicator is ready for
use once again.
Where necessary, the filter cartridge can
be cleaned once by blowing out and
knocking. It must then be replaced at the
next opportunity.
Gardner Denver accepts no liability for
damage due to failure to replace the fil-
ter cartridge on time.
7.2.5 V-belt and belt tension
The protective devices may only be
removed when the machine is at a stand-
still and the vehicle engine has been swit-
ched off.
The V-belt and belt tension must be checked every
week and retightened or replaced, where necessary.
Damaged V-belts may only be replaced with a com-
plete set of length sorted belts.
7.2.6 Clean the oil tank
The oil tank must be cleaned every 3 months. With the
machine at a standstill, drain away the lube oil. Flush
the oil tank with flushing oil.
