(b)
Close air compressor bleed valve (27).
(c)
Check AIR COMPRESSOR hourmeter (2) and unit log for last filter replacement. Replacement intervals are
shown in Table 2-14.
CAUTION
Clogged filters will reduce the operating efficiency of the ROWPU. If this is the first time
that the ROWPU has been started or if the ROWPU has been in storage, replace the outlet
filter before start up and after the air pressure bottle has been pressurized to 1800 psi.
Thereafter, replace the outlet filter in accordance with the following table.
Table 2-14. Filter Replacement Intervals
Replace every 44 hours if below 85ºF (29ºC).
Outlet Filter
Replace every 22 hours if above 85ºF (29ºC).
Inlet Filter
Replace every 250 hours.
(3)
If the inlet filter requires replacement:
(a)
Be certain COMPRESSOR OFF/ON switch (3) is OFF.
(b)
Unscrew filter cover (4), spring (5), and filter (6).
(c)
Install spring and new filter. Reinstall filter cover.

(7)
Remove utility air hose (24) from storage box 2 (43, Figure 2-24) and connect utility air hose to utility air connection
(25, Figure 2-34) to stabilizers (26). Use utility air hose and fill stabilizers 26 to 30 psi (207 kPa) and use tire pressure
gage to check pressure.
