MAINTENANCE

Cleaning/Replacing Air Filter (For Hot Air Machines Only)

The Miller Weldmaster T600 has an external air compressor that supplies airflow to the heat 

element. Periodic cleaning and changing of the Air Filter Cartridge is necessary to maintain 

sufficient airflow. Insufficient airflow or any impurities in the airflow will shorten the life of the 

heat element.

Clean Air Filter Cartridge Every Week

If the surrounding conditions in your production area are not clean, it is recommended that you 

clean the Air Filter Cartridge twice a week.

 

1. Loosen and remove the Air Filter Cartridge End Cap.

 

2. Remove the Air Filter Cartridge.

 

3. Using brake cleaner or a product containing high amounts of Ether, spray the Air     

   

    Filter Cartridge from the inside out.

 

4. Dry the Air Filter Cartridge by blowing the Air Filter Cartridge from the inside out with

 

    shop air.

 

5. Reinstall the Air Filter Cartridge and Air Filter Cartridge End Cap onto the internal air      

                compressor and tighten.

Replace Air Filter Cartridge Every 3 - 6 Months

If the surrounding conditions in your production area are not clean, it is recommended that you 

change the Air Filter Cartridge every month.

 

1. Remove the Air Filter Cartridge End Cap.

 

2. Remove the Air Filter Cartridge.

 

3. Replace with a new Air Filter Cartridge, part number 330297.

 

4. Reinstall the Air Filter Cartridge and Air Filter Cartridge End Cap onto the internal air     

                compressor.
