When unpacking, check to make sure all parts shown on the back of this instruction    

           sheet are included.  If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools  
           at the number shown on the front of this instruction sheet as soon as possible.

1.  For ease of use, and to avoid damage to the Mini Air Filter, it is recommended that the unit be
 

mounted in a convenient location on the workbench or in the work area.  This can be done by

 

attaching the Mounting Bracket (part #22) to the side of the workbench or wall, using two  

 

wood or metal screws (not provided).  

2.  Once the Mounting Bracket has been attached to a desired location, unscrew and remove the
 

Retaining Ring (part #23) from the top of the Mini Air Filter.

3.  Insert the top of the Mini Air Filter through the Mounting Bracket and secure by replacing the
 

Retaining Ring.

4.  Attach a 1/4” NPT Female hose connector to the air compressor supply hose.  Then, wrap the
 

threads of the 1/4” NPT Female hose connector with approximately 3” of Teflon tape.  Next,

 

connect the 1/4” NPT Female hose connector to the inlet side of the Mini Air Filter.

5.  Attach a 1/4” NPT Male hose connector to one end of the outlet extension hose (to which you
 

will connect a tool).  Check to make sure the other end of the outlet extension hose is fitted

 

with a quick coupler.  Then, wrap the threads of the 1/4” NPT Male hose connector with

 

approximately 3” of Teflon tape.  Next, connect the 1/4” NPT Male hose connector to the outlet

side of the Mini Air Filter.

6.  Connect the quick coupler of the air outlet extension hose to the tool you are using.  Turn on
 

the air compressor and regulate the desired PSI to the tool by pulling up and turning the

 

Pressure Adjustment Knob (part #1) on the Mini Air Filter clockwise for reduced air pressure,

 

or counterclockwise for increased air pressure.  Press down on the knob to lock.

7.  The Mini Air Filter is now ready for use.  NOTE:  Depending on usage, periodically examine
 

the Drain Cup (part #11) for accumulated water that is being separated from  the compressed

 

air system.  See Step one for instructions on draining the excess fluid from the Drain Cup.

       

1.  When the water level rises to the bottom edge of the 
Filter Mesh Mounting (part #9) within the Drain Cup (part 
#11) it is necessary to remove the excess fluid.  To drain 
the fluid slowly turn the Water Valve Drain (part #14) 
counterclockwise until the fluid begins to flow from the 
Drain Cup.  When all of the fluid has been drained turn 
the Water Valve Drain clockwise to tighten.

2.  To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth, using a mild 
soap with water if necessary.  Then, dry.
