Maintenance
Compressor Oil Filter
Refer to the MAINTENANCE CHART in this section for the recommended servicing
intervals.
Removal
Do not remove the filter(s) without first making sure that the machine
is stopped and the system has been completely relieved of all air
pressure. (Refer to STOPPING THE MACHINE in the OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual)
Clean the exterior of the filter housing and remove the spin-on element.
lnspection
Inspect the oil filter head to be sure the gasket was removed with the oil filter element.
Clean the gasket seal area on the oil filter head.
If there is any indication of the formation of varnishes, shellacs or
lacquers on the filter element, it is a warning that the compressor
lubricating and cooling oil has deteriorated and that it should be
changed immediately. Refer to LUBRICATION later in this section.
Installing a new oil filter element when the old gasket remains on the
filter head, will cause an oil leak and can cause property damage.
