COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER
(Figure 5-3, Page 69) - This screw on oil filter is a vital part in maintaining a
trouble-free compressor, since it removes dirt and abrasives from the circulated oil. The oil filter relief valve
is located in the oil filter head. The relief valve opens in the event the element becomes dirty enough to
block the flow of oil.
Improper oil filter maintenance will cause damage to equipment. Replace filter
element every 2000 hours of operation. More frequent replacement could be
required depending on operating conditions. A filter element left in service too
long may damage equipment.
Use only the replacement element shown on the filter tag or refer to the parts list for the part number. Use
the following procedure to replace the filter element. Do not disturb the piping.
Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death. Shut down
compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout
power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts
and filters.
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing may
be at high temperature during and after operation.
1.
Stop the unit and be sure no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2.
Remove the spin-on element.
3.
Clean the gasket face of the filter body.
4.
Coat the new element gasket with clean lubricant used in the unit.
5.
Screw the new element on the filter body and tighten by hand. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE
ELEMENT.
6.
Run the unit and check for leaks.
