Spin-on Filter Replacement RTI Part Number: 026 80253 00 NOTE: A spin-on filter (WIX® 33343 or equivalent) should be replaced after each flushing procedure. RTI is not responsible for damages caused by use of non-equivalent spin-on filters! 1. Locate the spin-on filter on the rear of the ACF-3000. 2. Turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove. 3. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the filter gasket and install the new filter. Take caution to hand tighten only.
Charcoal Air Filter Replacement The charcoal air filter element and Pre-filter (Part Number – includes both filter and pre-filter: 305 80033 00), located on the rear of the unit, should be replaced after every 25 flush and purge services. It may be necessary to replace the element sooner if the operator notices a stronger than usual odor emitted from the unit during the purge process. 1. Remove and clean the pre-filter element. 2.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Solution There is insufficient flush solvent in the supply tank. To fix this problem simply add the correct amount of flush to the ACF3000 storage tank. The flush solvent does not pump adequately through the unit, but the pump action can be heard. The Spin-on filter may be blocked. A new filter is required. Refer to page 7 to Replace Spin-on Filter. The pump may be defective.
