Operation
1. Both free moisture and solids are removed automatically by the
filter.
2. Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the
separated moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the baffle or
end cap.
3. The filter element should be removed and replaced when
pressure differential across the filter is 69 kPa (10 psig).
Service Procedure
Caution: Shut off air supply and exhaust the pressure
trapped within the filter bowl before servicing unit.
1. Unscrew and remove bowl.
2. Unscrew the filter holder from body and then remove element.
3. Clean all internal parts and bowl before reassembling.
4. The particulate filter element should be removed and cleaned
with household soap. Element should be replaced if soiled or
creating excessive pressure drop. IMPORTANT: The filter will
not operate properly if the deflector is not installed properly. The
deflector must be installed between the filter stem and the filter
body.
