SECTION 7
AIR FILTERS
COMPRESSOR AIR FILTER - This device cleans the air stream entering the compressor inlet and is
furnished as standard equipment on the compressor package. It is a single stage, high efficiency,
cellulose media element housed in a non-corrosive housing.
Efficient compressor package operation depends on the unrestricted, clean supply of fresh air delivered
by the air filter. In turn, the longevity of the filter element depends on the cleanliness of the local
environment.
Use only genuine Gardner Denver air filter elements on Gardner Denver
compressor units. Genuine parts are available through your authorized Gardner
Denver distributor.
Do not oil this element. Do not wash in inflammable cleaning fluids. Do not use
solvents other than water. Improper cleaning may damage the element.
Never operate the unit without the element. Never use elements that are
damaged, ruptured or wet. Never use gaskets that won't seal. Keep spare
elements and gaskets on hand to reduce downtime. Store elements in a
protected area free from damage, dirt and moisture. Handle all parts with care.
