CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS
A dirty air filter will
reduce the compressor's
performance and life. To
avoid any internal
contamination of the pump,
the filters should be cleaned
frequently, and replaced on
a regular basis. Paper filters
should be replaced when
dirty. Do not allow the filters
to become filled with dirt or
paint. If the filter becomes
filled with paint, it should be replaced. Direct exposure to dirty conditions or
painting areas will void your warranty.
Note: Troubleshooting problems may have similar causes and solutions.
