10.3.1

 

Service Check List 

Every 8 hours operation 

1.

 

Check air/oil reservoir oil level, add oil if required. 
See Section 7.4 for information. If oil consumption is 
high, refer to Section 10.4, Excessive Oil 
Consumption. DO NOT MIX LUBRICANTS.  

2.

 

Check operation of the machine, is it loading and 
unloading properly. 

3.

 

Check discharge pressure and temperature. 

4.

 

Check control panel for advisory text messages. 

Every 125 hours operation 

1.

 

Check for dirt accumulation on oil/aftercooler core 
faces and the cooling fan. If cleaning is required, 
clean the exterior fin surfaces of the cores by 
blowing compressed air carrying a nonflammable 
safety solvent, that will not damage aluminum in a 
direction opposite that of the cooling air flow. The 
cleaning operation will keep the exterior cooling 
surfaces clean and ensure effective heat 
dissipation. 

2.

 

Every 2000 hours operation or 6 months 

3.

 

Replace the oil filter element, as indicated by the 
GD Pilot, every 1000 hours or every 3 months, 
whichever occurs first. See "Change oil filter 
cartridge", Section 10.5. 

4.

 

Replace air filter element, operating conditions 
determine the frequency of service. The air filter will 
need to be changed, as indicated by the GD Pilot, 
every 2000 hours or every 6 months, whichever 
occurs first. See "Change Air Filter", Section 10.7. 

5.

 

An oil sample will need to be taken and sent to the 
GD oil lab. 

6.

 

Replace cool air inlet filter pad. See Section 10.12. 

7.

 

Clean or replace the control box filter (if app.), as 
indicated by the GD Pilot, every 1000 hours or every 
3 months, whichever occurs first. See "Clean/ 
replace cool air intake and control box filter pads", 
Section 10.12. 

 

Every 4000 hours operation or 12 months  

1.

 

Visually check for leakage on the shaft seal, replace 
as required. See the parts lists for the kit part 
number and for the tool kit part number. The tool kit 
is required to change the oil seal. If the oil seal is a 
lip seal, the wear sleeve must always be replaced. 

2.

 

Replace lubricant every 8000 hours **.  
Under adverse conditions, change more frequently 
(refer to "Oil Change Interval", in Section 10.4). 
Flush system if required. 

3.

 

Replace Air/Oil Separator, operating conditions 
determine the frequency of service. The air/oil 
separator will need to be changed as indicated by 
the GD Pilot, every 4000 hours or every year, 
whichever occurs first. See "Changing the fine oil 
separator" in Section 10.6 for further details. 

4.

 

Inspect the scavenge line, replace the check valve, 
clean the scavenge line if necessary. 

5.

 

Inspect the inlet valve, service if necessary, see 
parts list for repair kit part number.  

6.

 

Inspect minimum pressure/check valve operation, 
repair if necessary. See Fig. 2 "Minimum Discharge 
Pressure/Check Valve". 

7.

 

Check pressure relief valve, see Section 10.8. 

8.

 

Inspect the condensate drain, repair if necessary. 

** Check Section 10.4 for specific lubricant basic life, 
based on actual lubricant in the package. 

Every 8000 hours operation or 24 months 

1.

 

Inspect solenoid valves /vacuum switch operation, 
replace if necessary. 

2.

 

Inspect blow-down valve operation, replace if 
necessary. 

3.

 

Inspect thermistor probes operation, replace if 
necessary. 

4.

 

Inspect pressure transducer, replace if necessary. 

5.

 

Inspect control valves and presure regulator, 
replace if necessary. 

6.

 

Inspect thermal mixing valve operation, replace 
element if necessary. See Section 5 "Thermal 
Mixing Valve" and "Compressor Oil System Check". 

7.

 

Inspect, replace if necessary the drive coupling 
spider (coupling element). See Section 7  

8.

 

Inspect hoses, replace if necessary.
