Scavenge Line
WARNING
!
High pressure air can cause severe
injury or death from hot oil and flying
parts. Always relieve pressure before
removing caps, plugs, covers or other
parts from pressurized air system.
The scavenge line originates at the receiver-
separator tank cover and terminates at the
compressor air-end near the oil filter
element. An orifice check valve is located
on the scavenge tube.
Once a year or every 1000 hours of
operation, whichever comes first, replace
the separator element and clean the
scavenge orifice/check valve.
NOTE: Excessive oil carry-over may be
caused by an oil-logged separator element.
Do not replace element without first
performing the following maintenance
procedure:
1. Check oil level. Maintain as indicated
earlier in this section.
2. Thoroughly clean scavenge line, any
orifice and check valve.
3. Assure minimum pressure valve/orifice is
operational.
4. Run unit at rated operating pressure for
30 to 40 minutes to permit element to
clear itself.
Exterior Finish Care
This unit was painted and heat cured at the
factory with a high quality, thermoset
polyester powder coating. The following care
will ensure the longest possible life from this
finish.
1. If necessary to remove dust, pollen, etc.
from housing, wash with water and soap
or dish washing liquid detergent. Do not
scrub with a rough cloth, pad, etc.
2. If grease removal is needed, a fast
evaporating alcohol or chlorinated
solvent can be used. Note: This may
cause some dulling of the paint finish.
3. If the paint has faded or chalked, the use
of a commercial grade, non-abrasive car
wax may partially restore the color and
gloss.
