Checking Air Filter

The air filter helps prevent impurities and dust
from entering the compressor and reduces noise.
A dirty filter will result in a less efficient system
and could become a fire hazard.
To check air filter:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Releasing air through safety relief valve
can be extremely loud. Protect hearing
with ANSI-approved hearing protection in
following step.
2.
Use safety relief valve to reduce tank pres-
sure to less than 10 PSI.
3.
While holding base of filter assembly in place,
turn filter cap counterclockwise to remove
cap (see Figure 24).
