4. Inspect the element for ruptures or cracks in the pleated media; replace the element if any are
found. Inspect the gasket on the bottom (outlet end) of the element; replace the entire element if
the gasket is damaged. A spare element will keep down time to a minimum.
5. Allow the element to air dry COMPLETELY. Do not expose the element to heat over 150
°
F
(66
°
C). Install the element in the filter body and fasten securely with the wing nut.
WARNING
Do not oil this element. Do not wash in inflammable cleaning fluids. Do not use
solvents other than water. Improper cleaning may damage the element.
NOTICE
Never operate the unit without the element. Never use elements that are
damaged, ruptured or wet. Never use gaskets that won’t seal. Keep spare
elements and gaskets on hand to reduce downtime. Store elements in a
protected area free from damage, dirt and moisture. Handle all parts with care.
Filter Element Life - The element should be replaced after six (6) cleanings or if:
1. Visual inspection indicates a rupture, crack or pin hole in the pleated media. Inspection should be
done by placing a bright light inside the element.
2. Pressure drop across a filter with a freshly cleaned element is below three (3) inches (76 mm) of
water with the compressor running at full load - this would indicate a rupture or crack.
Inlet Tube - Inspect the inlet screen and tube for dirt accumulation each time the filter is serviced. Clean
the tube when required by ramming a clean dry cloth through the tube. Wipe the inside of the filter body
to remove any dirt falling from the inlet tube before reinstalling the element.
Causes of short element life include: severe dust conditions, infrequent servicing, improper cleaning, or
contamination by oil or chemical fumes.
