7.8.2 Compressor Disassembly
WARNING
!
Before disassembly of any external compressor component make sure to relieve possible
internal pressure by loosening the bolts and tapping the component with a soft hammer to
break the seal.
CAUTION
!
Removing the compressor motor press-fit stator in the field is not recommended. The rotor
and stator are a matched pair and should not be separated.
When disassembling compressor, match mark parts so they may be replaced in their same relative positions. (See
Figure 7.6 ) Refer to Table 7–6 and Table 7–7 for compressor wear limits and bolt torque values.
a. Place the compressor in a position where it will be convenient to drain the oil. Remove the oil fill plug (see
Figure 7.6 ) to vent the crankcase. Loosen the drain plug in bottom plate and allow the oil to drain out slowly.
Remove the plug slowly to relieve any crank case pressure. Some units have a plug in the bottom center of
the crankcase which may be removed for draining the motor end more quickly.
