4. Absorb excess water from filter with a dry towel.
5. Return filter and end cap.

Cleaning for Exterior Components:
Use a clean cloth or sponge dampened with soap and water.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

CAUTION
Excessive dust buildup on filter will reduce performance of Compressor. If this occurs, clean or replace with a new filter.
