Maintenance
Inspection
Check for cracks, holes, or any other damage to the element by holding the element up to a
light source or by passing a lamp inside.
If inspection reveals damage to the main element, the safety element
must also be replaced.
Check the seal at the end of the element and replace if damage is evident.
Reassembly
Assemble the new primary element into the filter housing ensuring the seal seats properly.
Secure element by tightening retaining wing nut.
Before restarting the compressor, ensure all clamps are tight.
Ventilation
Always check that the air inlets and outlets are clear of debris etc.
Cooling Fan Drive
Check periodically to ensure fan mounting bolts in the fan hub have not loosened. If, for any
reason, it becomes necessary to remove the fan or re-tighten the fan mounting bolts, apply a
good grade of commercially available thread locking compound to the bolt threads. Tighten to
the torque value shown in the Torque Values in this section.
The fan belt(s) should be checked regularly for wear and correct tensioning.
Fuel System
The fuel tank(s) should be filled daily or every eight hours. To minimize condensation in the
fuel tank(s), it is advisable to top up after the compressor is shut down or at the end of each
working day. Drain any sediment or condensate that may have accumulated in the tank(s).
Refer to Maintenance Schedule.
Fuel Filter Water Separator
The fuel filter water separator contains a filter element which should be replaced at regular
intervals. Refer to Maintenance Schedule.
