MAINTENANCE
Remove The External Air Intake Filter
• Use a crescent wrench (or 16 mm wrench) adjusted to t the at faces of the external air lter mounted to the back of the case.
• With the wrench tted to air lter unscrew the external air lter by turning the wrench counter-clockwise until it is unthreaded from the case.
• If the material clogging the lter is water soluble, (ie., tanning liquid, cosmetics, water colors) soak the air intake lter in warm and soapy
water. Rinse by running through the threaded end of the lter and let air dry.
• If the material clogging the lter is solvent-based, soak the air intake lter in appropriate solvent bath. Use forced air from your airbrush,
through the threaded end to push solvent and residue out from the lter.
• Test the lter by blowing into the back, threaded end, and if air ows through it freely then the lter is clean. If not repeat cleaning cycle
or replace lter.
• Gently thread the clean external air lter into place and tighten with a wrench until snug. Be careful not to over tighten as this may strip the threads.
Cleaning The Vent Filters
• Since this lter generally attracts dust and dirt, use a small hose from a vacuum and run the end of the vacuum over the lter while it is in place.
• If it requires advanced cleaning, remove the plastic vent cover by using the at end of a screwdriver placing it underneath the outside edge
and gently pry it o.
• Remove the vent lter, it is only held in place by the vent cover.
• Wash gently in warm and soapy water. Rinse and allow to dry.
• Re-t the vent lter into place and replace vent cover.
• If the vent lter is not cleanable replace with new vent lter.
Releasing Built Up Moisture In The Moisture Trap
• Release the water by pushing up on the drain valve located underneath the moisture trap’s clear bowl.
• This will open the valve and drain o the collected moisture.
• Hold a paper towel under the open valve to collect the water.
• Do not let excess water build up in the moisture trap.
DO NOT use oil in/on the compressor. 10
