6.3 FLUID FILTER
The fluid filter is a spin on, full flow unit. Replacement of the filter requires spinning off the
cartridge and replacing it with a new one. During normal service, the filter cartridge should be
replaced under the following conditions, whichever occurs first:
♦
As indicated by the fluid filter maintenance indicator when the fluid is at normal operating
temperature
♦
Every 2,000 hours
♦
Every fluid change
NOTICE
The fluid filter maintenance indicator may read high upon start up on cool
mornings due to sluggish fluid creating higher than normal differential
pressures. Monitor indicator after the fluid warms up.
6.4 AIR/OIL SEPARATOR
The air/oil separator is using coalescent filter element. Replacement requires unbolting and
lifting the separator cover and replacing it with a new one. The air/oil separator should be
replaced as indicated in the maintenance schedule or as follows:
♦
If excessive fluid carryover is observed.
♦
8,000 hours MAX, or-as indicated by differential pressure indicator.
♦
As indicated by the gauge (if equipped).
6.5 FLUID SAMPLING PROCEDURE
KRSV models are required performing oil sample procedure every 2000 h. The following is a
sampling procedure, with fixed sampling hardware installed.
i.
Take sample at normal operating conditions
ii.
Hold the oil drain hose into lubricant sample bottle.
iii.
Slowly open the sample valve.
iv.
Collect oil, avoid overfilling the sample bottle.
v.
Close the sample valve.
vi.
Seal the bottle tightly, wipe clean.
vii.
Pre-label or label sample bottle immediately after filling to avoid mix-ups. Make sure
