6.0 Assembling the
Components
CAUTION!
Protect the hose from sharp objects,
abrasion, and high temperatures. Do
not pull or pinch the hose while
assembling the components.
6.1 Insert the larger end of the filter
cartridge into the fitting at the end
of the flexible air hose. Push the
filter gently until it is firmly seated
and the metal Filter Release Tab
pops out, locking the filter into
place. See Figure 2.
6.2 Connect the hose and filter to the
console. First, push the Filter
Release Button (Figure 3) in all
the way. Then, push the fitting
containing the filter all the way
into the opening in the console
until it latches with a click. The
fitting fits only in the correct
orientation. The small plastic
fitting on the end of the filter must
align with the metal guide
coupling in the console. You may
have to wiggle the filter slightly
while inserting it. See Figure 3.
6.3 Connect the male (air inlet) fitting
on the console to the air supply.
The console is designed for a
U.S.-standard, industrial
interchange quick coupling. You
can attach the console directly to
the air supply using the female
quick coupler provided with the
console, or attach it using a hose
(not supplied) or some other
interconnect. In both cases, use a
prefilter as defined in 4.0.
6.4 If you have purchased the
optional foot switch, plug its
cable into the jack on top of the
console (next to the power
switch).
