Inspection Procedures
It is our recommendation that in a mobile or trucking application, the
PneuClean filter element be inspected on a weekly basis and charged
at least every 12 months.
For PneuClean filter element PC5001
The following inspection procedure must be implemented in order for
the product warranty to be in effect. Any change or deviation from
this procedure voids the Dixon Bayco product warranty and removes
Dixon Bayco from any contamination liability.
1. Remove quick disconnect V-clamp and remove end cap.
2. Open slowly and listen for pressure.
3. Pull the element completely out of the assembly housing
4. Carefully look into the housing at the bottom gasket and guide the
plate.
5. Check to see if the white bottom gasket is in place and clean.
Replace if missing, broken or damaged. Clean the housing if dirty.
6. Check the inside of the sidewall of the housing for oil residue and
small particles. Removed with clean cloth, steam, or cleaning device
of choice.
7. Carefully inspect the outer surface of the filter element by looking
into the pleated area for very dark colored media, oil or grease
residue, fiberglass fibers and caked on product. If this surface
appears to have heavy deposits of contaminates such as metal, iron
oxide or caked on product, and/or the element has been in service for
twelve months it should be replaced.
8. Turn element up on its end where you can look down into the open
end. Use a light or flashlight, if needed. Carefully look at the sides of
the element.
• If the screen wire and/or media show signs of deterioration
replace immediately.
• If the screen wire and/or media do not show signs of
deterioration, but has been in operation for twelve months,
replace immediately.
• If product is caked up inside this area, replace immediately.
• If the element has been run longer than twelve months,
replace immediately.

9. Inspect lid O-ring and replace if damaged.
10. Loosen adjustments bolt, replace lid and clamp ring. Tighten
clamp ring. Tighten adjusting bolt and lock nut. Replace acorn nut.
Do not service this filter canister while under pressure!
We recommend maintaining a filtration inspection log book in
establishing a replacement schedule that is optimal for your fleet.
PneuClean Mounting Information
PneuClean should be mounted to the frame or stable platform by
using the two mounting brackets (Part # PC5003). These brackets
are stainless steel 1.25" x 8.00" in diameter, with feet and 7/16" pre-
drilled holes.
When mounting vertically to the frame, the brackets are mounted
approximately 6"-8" on center. The mounting brackets are to secure
the filtration unit to the tractor; allow at least 6" between the brackets
in order to stabilize the unit. There must be at least 20" between the
end cap and the road surface in order to remove the filter element.
When mounting horizontally to the frame, the brackets should be
mounted approximately 10"-15" on center. There must be at least
20" beyond the end cap in order to remove the filter element for
inspection or replacement. In most installations, the quick disconnect
coupling (with rain cap) can be used. There should be some type of
support for the hot hose, either on the tractor or not on the trailer.
Neither the inlet nor the outlet piping on the PneuClean unit were
designed or fabricated to hold non-supported hoses and/or piping.
This can void all warranties. Hot hoses and/or piping should be
supported with structurally sound brackets, which are not connected
to the PneuClean units. Before starting, please inspect the unit for
any damage that might have been caused during shipping.

There are two primary places PneuClean filtration units can be
mounted, on the road tractor or on the dry bulk trailer
Tractor
When mounting PneuClean on the tractor, the units can be mounted
either horizontally or vertically this application offers an added benefit
that the filter unit will act as a silencer if mounted within 24" of the
blower discharge port.
Do not hard mount the filtration unit to the blower. A soft silicon pipe
should be placed between the two. When hard mounted blower
vibration has caused stress cracks along the side weldment of the
inlet pipe on the filtration unit.
Recommended rubber hose to use between the units is either a 3.5"
or 4.5" diameter silicon turbo step-hump-hose. Consider the following
while installing the unit:
• The unit can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
• You must allow a minimum of 6"-8" between mounting
bracket anywhere along the tubed housing.
• There must be a minimum of 20" beyond the end cap in
order to remove the filter element for inspection or
replacement.
Trailer Mounting
There are several ways of mounting PneuClean on dry bulk trailers.
The main criteria to remember are:
• The hot hose should be supported; the inlet weldment will
not support the hot hose and quick disconnect for a long
period of time.
• You can mount vertically or horizontally by bolting the
mounting bracket to a structural member or permanent part of
the trailer
•Allow a minimum of 6"-8" between mounting bracket
anywhere along the tubed housing.
• There must be at least 20" beyond the end cap in order to
remove the filter element for inspection or replacement.
• There should be a check valve after the filtration unit to stop
any product in the event of reverse flow.
