Routine Maintenance (continued)
Compressor Air Filter - Changing the Elements
!!
CAUTION
Do not run the compressor when the outer element has
been removed.
!!
CAUTION
The inner element of the compressor air filter must be
replaced with a new one. Do not attempt to clean or
wash the old element.
1 Park the machine on firm level ground. Engage the
parking brake and set the transmission to neutral. Stop
the engine and remove the starter key.
2 Gain access to the filter by opening the side of the
compressor housing X.
3 If changing the inner element, disconnect the filter
induction hose A. Cover the end of the hose to prevent
rain and dirt from getting into the compressor.
4 Unscrew wingnut H. Remove the outer element G. Take
care not to tap or knock the element.
5 If required, unscrew nut F and remove inner element E.
6 Clean inside the canister C and dust valve D.
7 Test the seating of seals B and J:
a Smear the seals on the new elements with
grease.
b Insert the new elements in canister C.
c Remove the elements and check for witness
marks on the inside base of the canister.
8 If the seals are secure, re-insert the new inner element
and tighten nut F.
9 Insert the new outer element and tighten wingnut H.
10 Refit the induction hose A (if disconnected). Make sure
that the wire to the Air Filter Blocked switch is attached
to the electrical connector.
Note: Do not run the compressor with the dust valve D
removed.
Note: In dusty conditions, the outer element can be cleaned
by blowing through in the reverse direction with clean dry
compressed air. If the element is damaged, it must be
replaced. A new inner element must be fitted at least every
third time the outer element is changed. As a reminder, mark
the inner element with a felt tipped pen each time the outer
element is changed.
