NOTE
* To keep dirt out of the compressor during initial operation of a
new system, a hard wool felt filter is installed inside the regular
bronze screen strainer provided in the compressor suction
manifold.
* The felt filter is intended for use only during initial operation to
trap any fine particles of dirt which may enter the system during
installation.  This filter, is supplied with all new compressors.
The arrangement of the filter within the suction strainer is shown
below. To install the temporary felt filter proceed as follows:
1. Remove suction strainer.
2. Insert ends of bail into holes of retaining band.

right angles to filter seam and approximately 1/16 inch (.159
cm) of felt extends beyond edge of band. Work ends of bail
through the felt.

the seam out. Be sure filter does not extend beyond edge of
strainer.

sock is installed.
