Section VI - Servicing
Air Filter
The standard QGB
™
air filter is a single
stage, dry type element attached to the
inlet valve. The filter media is pleated and
will stop particles of 0 microns in size.
This element is replaceable and should
not be cleaned. Service intervals of the
air filter element depends on ambient
conditions and should be established by
checking regular intervals until a pattern
for servicing is found. Daily maintenance
of the filter element is not uncommon in
dirty conditions. If dirty conditions exist,
it is advisable to relocate the intake air to
an outside source. Each time the filter is
serviced, inspect the filtered air side of
the air cleaner canister and the suction
manifold for dirt. If dirt is found, determine
the cause and correct. Always make
sure all gaskets, threaded connections,
flange connections, and hose connections
between the air filter and air compressor
are airtight. Dirty filters result in reduced
airflow and can distort the element and
allow dirt to bypass the filter element.
notiCe!
Intake filtration equipment supplied
from the factory may not be adequate
for extremely dirty applications or
some forms of dust or vapors. It is the
customer’s responsibility to provide
adequate filtration for those conditions.
Warranty will be voided if inadequate
filtration causes a failure.
