This service, when supplemented by properly
recorded package operational performance and
vibrations trends, is most helpful in identifying the
presence (or absence) of equipment damage which
can be repaired or replaced before a catastrophic
breakdown occurs.

PROCEDURES
Please, familiarize yourself with the safety guide-
lines offered in Section 1 of this manual before

7.9.1 AIR FILTER INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE

ELEMENT INSPECTION
1. Place a bright light on one side of each element
to inspect for damage or leak holes.
2. Inspect gaskets and matching sealing surfaces
on the housing. It should be smooth or replace in
case of damage.

to dislodge dirt - this may damage the sealing sur-
faces and/or rupture the element.

be performed at 8000 hours, one year or when the

ment and a main element.
