Maintenance The LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE CHART lists serviceable items on this compressor package. The items are listed according to their frequency of maintenance, followed by those items which need only “As Required” maintenance. Lubrication and Maintenance Chart l l i .
Maintenance Lubrication Recommendations It is important that the compressor oil be of a recommended type and that this oil as well as the air filter element be in- spected and replaced as started in this manual. The following are general characteristics for a piston lubricant. Due to the impossibility of establishing limits on all physical and chemical properties of lubricants which can affect their performance in the compressor over a broad range of environmental influences, the responsibility for recommending and consistently furnishing a suitable heavy duty lubricant must rest with the individual supplier if they choose not to use the...
Maintenance Due to environmental factors, the useful life of all “extended life” lubricants may be shorter than quoted by the lubricant supplier. Boss encourages the user to closely monitor the lubricant condition and to participate in an oil analysis program with the supplier. No lubricant, however good and/or expensive, can replace proper maintenance and attention.
Maintenance HYDRAULIC OIL COOLER The interior of the oil cooler should be cleaned when the pressure drop across it at full flow exceeds 25 PSI. Remove cooler. 2. Circulate a suitable solvent to dissolve and remove varnish and sludge. 3. Flush generously with hydraulic oil. 4.
