MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE INTAKE FILTER
See Figure 19.
The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in.
It is essential to clean this filter after at least every 100
hours in service. A clogged intake filter will decrease the
compressor’s performance dramatically. Undo the two
allen screws. You can then remove the filter from the two
halves of the plastic housing, tap it to remove the dirt, blast
it down with low-pressure compressed air (approx. 3 bar)
and re-insert it.
