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!
Checking Air Filter
— If filter is fairly clean and there has not
been a drop in efficiency of compressor,
replace cap. No replacement is required.
— If filter is dirty or clogged, or there has
been a drop in efficiency of compressor,
replace cap. Proceed to
Step 4.
4. Replace old filter with new filter element (refer
to Part #11 in
Parts beginning on Page 38).
