CHANGING FILTER CARTRIDGE

Filter life depends on use and type of particulate but normal life of the
filter is approximately 2000 running hours. The filter should be
inspected regularly. Damaged filters must be replaced immediately.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect input power.
2. Remove four of the screws for the main cover of the unit.
Tilt the cover forward.
3. Disconnect compressed air and drain the compressed air
tank in order to empty. The drain valve is situated at the
lower rear end (behind the dust bin).
4. Disconnect the coil for the solenoid valve.
5. Disconnect the hose clamp for the solenoid valve.
6. Disconnect the hose between the filter cover and rear
wall.
7. Open the clamp on top of dust bin.
8. Lift the cover carefully up and pull slightly backwards. Be
sure the inlet connection between the filter cover and the
main chassis is separated.
9. Lift the cover straight up. Unscrew the center bolt and
remove the cartridge. It is recommended to wrap the filter
in a properly closed plastic bag before removal, to avoid
contact with dust.
10. Position the new filter in place and reassemble in reverse
order.

DRAINING OF PNEUMATIC TANK

A valve for draining of water and condensation is mounted at the rear
of the unit. The tank should be drained at least once a week. Pull the
ring of the drain valve until only clean air comes out. Always protect
your eyes when draining the tank.

GREASING OF BEARINGS

All bearings are permanently lubricated. It is recommended to re-
lubricate the bearings after approximately 20,000 hours or 2½ years
of normal run time. Clean all ball bearings and fill 50% of the bearing
and approximately 65% of the housing with new grease. Use ESSO
UNIREX N3 or similar.
