2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your compressed air filter. Always ensure the compressed air system is depressurized and locked out before beginning any installation or maintenance procedures.
2.1 Safety Precautions
- Ensure the compressed air system is completely shut down and depressurized.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves.
- Refer to your compressed air system's manual for specific safety guidelines.
2.2 Installation Steps
- Depressurize System: Turn off the air compressor and vent all pressure from the air lines where the filter will be installed.
- Remove Old Filter (if applicable): Carefully disconnect and remove the existing filter housing or element.
- Inspect Housing: Clean the filter housing thoroughly, ensuring no debris or old gasket material remains.
- Install New Filter Element: Insert the MAKO AIRTEK DD310 filter element into the housing, ensuring it seats correctly. The filter is designed for direct replacement.
- Secure Housing: Reassemble the filter housing, ensuring all connections are tight and secure. Use new gaskets or O-rings if provided.
- Pressurize System: Slowly re-pressurize the compressed air system and check for any leaks using a leak detection solution.

3. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed, the MAKO AIRTEK DD310 Compressed Air Filter operates continuously as part of your compressed air system. Its primary function is to remove solid particles, water, oil aerosols, and other contaminants from the air stream, protecting downstream equipment and processes.
- Continuous Filtration: The filter will automatically clean the compressed air as it passes through the element.
- Pressure Drop Monitoring: Regularly monitor the pressure differential across the filter. An increasing pressure drop indicates a clogged filter element that requires replacement.
- Drain Operation: If your filter housing includes an automatic or manual drain, ensure it is functioning correctly to remove accumulated condensate.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance, particularly filter element replacement, is essential to ensure the continued efficiency and effectiveness of your compressed air filtration system.
4.1 Filter Element Replacement
The lifespan of a filter element depends on the quality of the incoming air and the operating conditions. It is generally recommended to replace filter elements every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if a significant pressure drop is observed.
- Depressurize System: Follow the safety precautions outlined in Section 2.1.
- Open Housing: Carefully open the filter housing according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Remove Old Element: Extract the used filter element. Dispose of it responsibly according to local regulations.
- Clean Housing: Wipe down the inside of the filter housing to remove any accumulated contaminants.
- Install New Element: Insert the new MAKO AIRTEK DD310 filter element, ensuring it is correctly seated and sealed.
- Reassemble and Test: Close the housing, tighten all connections, and slowly re-pressurize the system, checking for leaks.
