10.4.5 Drain compressed air service unit
The filtration of water and other impurities in
the compressed air is automatic when com-
pressed air flows through the maintenance
unit.
If the water level of the filter housing
exceeds the maximum limit, the water
enters the pneumatic equipment and cause
damage.
Check the water level daily and drain the
water level in the filter when needed. Drain
the water by pressing a finger on the button
at the bottom of the drainage filter housing.

10.4.6 Air purge
The air purge prevents the ingress of fine chips in the bearings of the spindle. During opera-
tion, the spindle is thus continuously supplied with compressed air. Make sure that the spindle
is supplied by the air purging pressure regulator with compressed air.

10.4.7 Replacing of compressed air filter
The air filter can filter dust and moisture from the compressed air.
If the air filter is clogged, the amount of compressed air to the air actuators is reduced and the
function is impaired or fails.
Be sure to check regularly the air filter for dirt or obstruction.
It is recommended to replace the air filter at least every 2000 operating hours.
