Maintenance - Cab filtration

Cab Filtration Unit

The PHANTOM cab is fitted with an integrated air conditioning and carbon filtration system. The air inlet filter will filter out dust and small particles and the carbon element of the filter will filter out chemical particles and vapours. The carbon in the filter will only remain effective for up to a maximum of 6 months, whether the machine is being used or not, as the carbon degenerates when in contact with the air. If the machine is being used continuously it is recommended that the filter be changed every 300 hrs. If the machine is not being used for a long period of time, its life can be extended by removing the filter and storing it in a plastic bag.

Lifting / lowering the roof

1. Remove the two studs to the left of the cab roof.
2. Stand on the cab entry step and lift the roof.
3. Swing the roof prop upwards and locate in its support bracket.
4. When lowering the roof ensure that the rubber seal around the roof is in good condition and that it seals correctly - Failure to do so will cause unfiltered air to be pulled into the ventilation system.
5. Replace the two studs in the cab roof.

 

 

 

 

Filter replacement

Remove the rubber strap from over the top of the carbon filter and remove it from its frame. Place it in a plastic bag and dispose of properly. When fitting the replacement filter ensure that the rubber seal around the filter is located correctly to avoid contaminated air being pulled in past the filter.

 

Air conditioning

There are no user serviceable parts in the air conditioning system, the only regular maintenance being the servicing of the compressor drive belt - as described earlier in this manual.

It is recommended that the system is serviced annually (in the spring) by a qualified refrigeration engineer.

The refrigerant gas currently being used is a hydrocarbon gas - HR30. NB this gas is highly flammable and for this reason the system must not be interfered with. However It is perfectly safe under normal operating conditions with the system charge being relatively small at only 14 ozs.
