Air Cleaner
This unit is equipped with an AIR FILTER RESTRICTION INDICATOR on the clean air side of
the compressor air inlet.
This should be checked daily during operation. If the indicator shows (red) with the unit
operating at full speed, servicing of the cleaner element is necessary.
If flagged, the air filter restriction indicator must be reset after unit is shut down and the air
cleaners are serviced. Reset by pushing button on top of indicator.
To service the air cleaner on all units proceed as follows:
1. Remove access cover on end of housing.
2. Remove air cleaner top by unlatching two clips. Remove element.
3. Wipe inside of air cleaner housing with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt
accumulation, especially in the area where the element seals against the
housing.
4. Inspect the element by placing a bright light inside and rotating slowly. If any
holes or tears are found in the paper, discard this element. If no ruptures are
found, the element can be cleaned.
5. Check new air filter elements for any shipping damage.
6. Install cleaned or new elements in the reverse order to the above.
In the event that the filter element must be reused immediately, compressed air cleaning (as
follows) is recommended since the element must be thoroughly dry. Direct compressed air
through the element in the direction opposite to the normal air flow through the element.
Move the nozzle up and down while rotating the element. Be sure to keep the nozzle at least
one inch (25.4 mm) from the pleated paper.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the element, never exceed a maximum air
pressure of 100 psi (700 kPa).
In the event the element is contaminated with dry dirt, oil or greasy dirt deposits, and a new
element is not available, cleaning can be accomplished by washing, using the air cleaner
element manufacturer’s recommendation
The air cleaner system (housing and piping) should be inspected every month for any leakage
paths or inlet obstructions. Check the air cleaner housing for damage, which could lead to a
leak.
Gauges
The instruments or gauges are essential for safety, maximum productivity and long service life
of the machine. Inspect the gauges prior to start-up. During operation observe the gauges for
proper functioning.
