Checking contamination of the air filter:
Air filter maintenance is necessary when the yellow piston inside the maintenance indicator rea‐
ches the red zone.
➤ Check the air filter maintenance indicator.
If the yellow piston reaches the red zone, clean or renew the filter element.
Cleaning the air filter:
1. Unscrew the hex-head screw in the filter cap.
2. Lift up the cap and remove the air filter element with a slight twisting action.
3. Clean the inside of the cap, the element holder and the sealing surfaces with a damp cloth.
4. Cleaning the filter element:
■ Use dry compressed air (≤ 5 bar!) at an angle to blow dust from the element from inside to
outside until no further dust develops.
■ The blast pipe must be long enough to reach the bottom of the element.
■ The tip of the blast pipe must not touch the element.
■ Cleaning sealing faces.
5. Inspect the element carefully for any damage.
Replace any damaged filter element.
6. Insert the new or cleaned air filter element in the holder. Make sure it is properly in place and
sealed by its gaskets.
7. Replace the cap and secure with the hex-head screw.
Resetting the maintenance indicator:
➤ Repeatedly press the reset knob on the maintenance indicator.
The yellow piston within the indicator is reset and the maintenance indicator is ready for use
again.
➤ Close the door.
Dispose of old parts and contaminated materials according to environmental regulations.
