Inspection
Examine the filter element.
CAUTION

If there is any indication of the formation of varnishes, shellacs or
lacquers on the filter element, it is a warning that the compressor
lubricating and cooling oil has deteriorated and that it should be changed
immediately. Refer to LUBRICATION later in this section.
Reassembly
Clean the filter gasket contact area and install the new element by screwing in a clockwise
direction until the gasket makes contact with the filter housing. Tighten a further 1/2 to 3/4 of
a revolution.
CAUTION

Start the machine (refer to PRIOR TO STARTING and STARTING THE
UNIT in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual) and
check for leakage before the machine is put back into service.
