Operation
Manual drain filters must be drained regularly before the separated
moisture and oil reaches the bottom of the filter element. Automatic drain
models will col lect and dump the liquids automatically.
Pressure differential gauges should be used to deter mine when the
maximum recommended pressure differential of 10 PSI (0.7 KG/CM
2 )
has been reached.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED RECOMMENDED FLOWS. THE
MINIMUM FLOW IS TEN PERCENT OF THE NOMINAL RATING.
Maintenance
Hi Flow
To replace the element in the filter:
1. Shut off the air supply and relieve pressure within the filter bowl.
2. Unscrew the bowl and unscrew the filter element. This element canno
be cleaned and should be re placed when a pressure differential of 10
PSI (0.7 KG/CM
2 ) is reached.
To install a new filter element:
1. Hold the element by the bottom end cap, position the new o-ring over
the top threaded cap end, turn the element gently into the body’s
threaded section and make sure it is screwed tightly into place.
Mini
1. Loosen and remove bowl. DO NOT use a pipe wrench on polycarbonate
bowl.
2. Unscrew filter holder and used element from filter housing. Discard the
used element.
3. Lightly lubricate the new bowl seal included in the kit and replace the old seal.
Use only mineral based oils or grease. DO NOT use synthetic oils such
as esters, and DO NOT use silicones.
4. Install new element.
a. Place new element on filter holder
b. Place nylon washer on top of the element
c. Place body seal on top of the nylon washer
5. Install new filter element / holder assembly. Hand-tighten only – DO
NOT use a wrench.
6. Thread bowl onto body (Torque bowl to bottom of body then back off
1/8 turn).
7. Pressurize and check for leaks.
CAUTION: Touching or handling the element section may cause
contamination, spotting or migration of oil.
Automatic drains should be checked to insure they are operating
correctly.
Troubleshooting
(If oil aerosol appears downstream from the filter):
1. Examine downstream air lines to determine if they were cleaned
out before installation of the filter. Residual oil will contaminate an
installation from new pipe work if it is not initially cleaned.
2. Determine if the sealing gasket or o-ring is in place, and that it is not
cut or otherwise damaged. (When checking the element, do not touch
the ele ment’s body. Always handle the element by the bottom end
cap.) When reinstalling the element, turn it gently to make sure that it
is screwed tightly in place.
3. Check the rate of air being used. The air flow should not exceed the
rated capacity of the ele ment, nor be less than 10% of its rated flow.
4. Check the inlet air temperature; this should not exceed 65°C (150°F).
Where higher temperatures are used, oil vapor may condense if the
air cools downstream of the filter.
5. Check for acid fumes or other harmful gases be ing drawn into
the compressor intake. The element may be attacked by certain
chemicals.
6. Determine the type of oil used in the compressor. Some synthetic or
high flash point oils are detri mental — contact factory for advice. Hi-Flow Mini
