to be used in conjunction with an alcohol evaporator or
injector. The PuraGuard
or aerosol alcohol introduced, defeat the purpose of the
evaporator/injector and require the sump to be drained more
often than normal.
FILTER BYPASS
(refer to Figure 5)
If a situation occurs where the ability of the filter to allow air
to pass is impaired and causes a pressure difference of
approx. 20 p.s.i. between the air entering the filter element
and exiting, the filter will move downwards against the spring.
The air entering will then be able to bypass the filter element.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Important: Review the warranty policy before performing
any intrusive maintenance procedures. An extended warranty
may be voided if intrusive maintenance is performed during
this period.
Because no two vehicles operate under identical conditions,
maintenance intervals will vary. Experience is a valuable
guide in determining the best maintenance interval for a
vehicle.
Every 300 operating hours, or 8,000 miles or one (1)
month:
1. With the air system pressure at 0 p.s.i., use the drain
valve to collect contaminants for disposal.
