Pneumatic System
To avoid affecting control of the packer or other air systems on the vehicle (especially under cold
weather conditions), you must maintain the air system regularly: drain the air tanks (see Figure 6
1)
and the air filter assembly (see Figure 6
2) at the end of every workday and prior to any maintenance.
Both filters of the air filter assembly must be changed twice a year.
To bleed the air filter assembly
, do the following:
1.
Lock out and tag out the vehicle (see
Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle
2.
Using a rag, unscrew the drain screws (see Figure 6
2).
This will bleed all the water from the water filter bowl and all the air from the coalescing filter
bowl.
The water filter bowl helps keep residual moisture out of the body air system while the coalescing
filter bowl helps capture particles in the air stream.
3.
Once both bowls have been completely drained, screw back the two drain screws.
To change both filters of the air filter assembly
, do the following:
1.
Lock out and tag out the vehicle (see
Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle
2.
Shut off the air supply and depressurize the unit before servicing.
3.
Unscrew the retaining collar of one of the bowls.
4.
Unscrew the bowl.
