5.10 Replacing the Compressor Air Inlet Sponge Filter

The filter is located underneath the compressor and is attached with adhesive to

the base of the pump case. Carefully lift and lay aside the compressor

assembly, first disconnecting the ground wire from the side of the compressor

casing.
Pull OFF and discard the old filter.
Clean the relevant area of the base to remove all traces of old adhesive, using an

alcohol based cleaning agent in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.
Peel the protective film from the underside of the new filter and press the filter

firmly on to the base, ensuring that it is correctly positioned to align with the air

inlet hole in the compressor case.
Reposition the compressor assembly and reconnect the compressor ground wire.

5.11 Replacing the Compressor Assembly

Disconnect the compressor outlet tubes from the four way connecter.

Disconnect the ground wire from the side of the compressor case. Disconnect

the compressor wires from the terminal block.
Remove the compressor assembly from the case.
To replace the compressor assembly: ensure that the four compressor support

rubbers are in good condition (replace if necessary) and install the compressor

assembly, positioning the support rubbers carefully in the recesses in the bottom

of the pump case.
Make sure the inlet filter sponge is correctly positioned.
Connect the outlet tubes to the four way connector, ensuring there are no kinks.

Connect the compressor wires as per the wiring diagram. Connect the ground

wire to the side of the compressor case.
