Be sure that all pressure has been relieved from the system prior to opening any filtration canister.
Failure to vent pressure from the system prior to opening the canister can lead to serious personal
injury or death. Difficulty turning the filter cap may indicate there still is pressure in the filter canister.
If the compressor is in an area where there is high humidity and high heat, the life of all filtration
elements may be as little as 35% of rated operating capacity. Check the compressor manual and
appendix for details on Filter Element Life Factors.
13.1 Temperature Effect on Filter Life
This Filter Replacement Frequency Calculation Table is based on total hours of compressor runtime, whether
the compressor runs in simplex (single compressor) or duplex (dual compressor) mode.
The active carbon filters are classified as special waste once the compressor has been used to make
air. They must be disposed of in compliance with the antipollution standards in force.
The condensate tank must be drained at the end of every working day or every 2 to 3 hours of
operation. The compressor condensate must be drained every 5-10 minutes of operation.
13.2 Condensate Discharge
An outflow of condensate water with lubricating oil is normal during refills: the quantity will depend on the level
of humidity in the air. The condensate must be disposed of as per your local “Waste disposal” rules.
To drain the condensate tank, open the manual bleed valve (pictured right) and drain into a portable container
for disposal.
