Draining the compressed air reservoir
Every day, the water must be drained from the compressed air
reservoir by pulling on the ring on the underside.

Line air filter
-
Clean the line filter every 3 to 4 months, depending on the relevant operating conditions.
-
To clean the line filter, remove the filter insert and blow it out with compressed air.
-
Replace any damaged filter inserts.
The filter housing (1) contains a sieve insert (3). If the filter inserts in the line air filters are clogged, air
flows around them without being filtered. As a result, there is no filter protection for downstream
attachments, meaning that the filter inserts must be cleaned at regular intervals.
1. Before opening the filter housing, depressurise the pipes.
2. To clean the sieve filter (3), remove the locking tab (8).
Be aware of the back-pressure from the cap (7).
3. If necessary, rinse the sieve filter with benzine and blow it out.
Always replace damaged sieve inserts and O-rings.

Brake cylinder
Check the brake cylinder. Only up to 2/3 of the brake cylinder stroke should be used.
If this is exceeded, the brake system must be re-adjusted or repaired by a specialist brake workshop.
