* Bare Airend -- Pertains to major airend parts
(rotors, housings, and bearings).
** Airend Components -- Pertains to auxiliary
attachments to the bare airend (drive coupling,
seals, pumps, valves, tubes, hoses, fittings and filter
housing).
The compressor oil must be replaced every 500
hours of operation or six (6) months, whichever
comes first for models HP600 -- P1600.
Refer to the fluids and lubricants chart for ambient
temperature ranges and specifications, in the

AIR CLEANER
This unit is equipped with an AIR FILTERS
RESTRICTED lamp on the instrument panel,
covering both the engine and the compressor.
This should be checked daily during operation. If the
lamp glows (red) with the unit operating at full speed,
servicing of the cleaner element is necessary.
Also weekly squeeze the rubber valve (precleaner
dirt dump) on each air cleaner housing to ensure that
they are not clogged. NOTICE: Holes or cracks
downstream of the air cleaner housing will cause the
restriction indicators to be ineffective.
The air filters restricted sensor will automatically
reset after the main power switch is flipped to “OFF.”
To service the air cleaners on all units proceed as
follows:
1.
Loosen outer wing nut and remove with
outer element. Inspect red window on
special inner wing nut to find small dot. If dot
is not visible, remove cotter pin and special
wing nut and inner (safety) element.
2.
Inspect air cleaner housing for any condition
that might cause a leak and correct as
necessary.
3.
Wipe inside of air cleaner housing with a
clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt
accumulation, especially in the area where
the element seals against the housing.
4.
Inspect the primary element by placing a
bright light inside and rotating slowly. If any
holes or tears are found in the paper,
discard this element. If no ruptures are
found, the element can be cleaned by one
of the following procedures.
5.
If a new air filter element is to be used check
it closely for shipping damage. To reset the
signal indicator in the special wing nut, apply
suction to the red window.
6.
Install cleaned or new elements in the
reverse order to the above. Tighten wing
nuts firmly and replace cotter pin.
7.
Inspect to ensure that the end cap seals
tightly 360 degrees around the air cleaner
body.
In the event the element is contaminated with dry
dirt, oil or greasy dirt deposits,and a new element is
not available, cleaning can be accomplished by
washing,
using the air cleaner element
manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the element, never exceed
a maximum air pressure of 100 psi (700 kPa).
