Preventive Maintenance During Storage; Lubrication Oils For Preservation; Reactivating The Compressor Unit - Bauer Compressors P0 Instruction Manual And Replacement Parts List

1. Operate the compressor again and slowly spray approximately 0.35 oz. (10 cc) of oil into the inlet
port while the compressor is running. Keep the shut-off valve open and the condensate drain valves
closed.
2. After spraying the oil into the inlet port, run the compressor unit for an additional 5 minutes before
shutting the compressor unit down.
3. Close the shut-off valve.
4. Close the inlet port with a dust cap and/or tape.

6.3.4 Preventive Maintenance During Storage

Operate the compressor once every six months as follows:
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the inlet filter.
2. Open the outlet valve and allow the system to run approximately 5 minutes until there is outflow
from the valve and oil is visible in the sight glass of the oil regulating valve.
3. Shut down the compressor.
4. Open the condensate drain valves, depressurize the unit, then close the drain valves again.
5. Remove the intake filter and replace the dust cap on the inlet port.

6.3.5 Lubrication Oils for Preservation

1. After prolonged storage periods, the oil will age in the compressor crankcase. The oil must be
drained at least every 24 months and replaced with fresh oil.
2. The stated period can only be attained when the crankcase is sealed during the preservation period
in accordance with the preservation requirements.
3. After changing the oil, the compressor must be operated according to the instructions above.
4. Check the lubrication of the compressor during the every-six-month brief operation.
5. The oil pump is functioning properly when oil can be seen flowing through the sight glass of the oil
pressure regulator or if the oil pressure gauge indicates the prescribed pressure.

6.3.6 Reactivating the Compressor Unit

1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the intake filter.
2. Check the oil level of the compressor. If necessary, change the oil.
3. The motor must be thoroughly dry before applying power.
4. For units with a purification system, change all cartridges.
5. Run the compressor with open outlet valve for approximately 10 minutes. Check for proper opera-
tion of the lubricating system.
6. After 10 minutes, close the shut-off valve and run the system up to final pressure until the final
pressure safety valve vents. On compressor units with a compressor control system, raise the pres-
