Cleaning/replacing the air filters
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Operating the compressor with plugged or damaged air filters may damage it.

it is operated in a clean environment. In dusty environments, the filter
elements must be replaced more often.
The manufacturer recommends that you remove the air filters every
50 operating hours and clean the filter element by blowing it out
with compressed air.
