Donaldson T.R.A.P.
™
Filter Minder
®
Indicator
Installation Instructions
By installing a Filter Minder
®
restriction indicator in an accessible
location, operators can easily monitor the T.R.A.P. breather’s airflow
restriction in graduated increments to maximize T.R.A.P. breather life
and effectively meet service intervals.
This kit provides the convenience of monitoring your T.R.A.P. breather
restriction level under normal venting conditions. The indicator is
measuring the amount of vacuum your tank is experiencing during outflow
operations, NOT pressure during filling operations. Any modification to the
indicator changes the calibration and will result in an inaccurate reading.
Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure the product works
as designed. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm the breather is
sized and applied to operate under the tank pressure and vacuum ratings
(located on the tank engineering plate) in service.
1
Apply Teflon
™
thread seal to the fitting.
Teflon

of Chemours.
2
Thread 1/8" NPT fitting
into the T.R.A.P.
™
adapter assembly.
3
Attach one end of the
25' hose to the
barbed fitting and
run the other end to
the desired indicator
location where fluid is
being dispensed from
the reservoir.
4
Mount the L-bracket in
a secure location in
which the Filter Minder
®
indicator will be visible.
Because there are
application variations,
the remote bracket can
be secured with screws or with a bolt and nut
assembly (fasteners not included). Alternately, the
indicator can be mounted with Velcro or tie bands.
The Filter Minder can be mounted in vertical
horizontal configurations. Horizontal mounting will
provide a slightly more accurate reading.
Kit Contents: Filter Minder Vacuum Indicator, remote
mounting bracket and rubber grommet, 25' hose, 3' hose,

Instructions.
