Scavenge Line; Compressor Oil Filter - Ingersoll-Rand P600WIR Operating & Maintenance Manual

Maintenance
Never remove or replace switches when the machine is running.

Scavenge Line

The scavenge line runs from the combined orifice/drop tube in the separator tank, to the orifice
fitting located in the airend.
Examine the orifice, check valve and hoses at every service or in the event of oil carryover into
the discharge air.
It is good preventative maintenance to check that the scavenge line and tube are clear of any
obstruction each time the compressor lubricant is changed as any blockage will result in oil
carryover into the discharge air.

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
in the OPERATING INSTURCTIONS section of this manual).
Clean the exterior of the filter housing and remove the spin-on element by turning it in a
counter-clockwise direction.
Inspection
Examine the filter element.
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.
