Separator Element Replacement
4.7.1
Spin-On Style, 10 – 20 HP
NOTE
Each lubricant separator element is of one piece construction. Due to the nature of the unit
it is not cleanable. Care should be taken in handling the element to avoid damage.
Replace the lubricant separator elements after every 3,000 hours of operation.
KI/KIV-10 and KI/KIV-15 units are supplied with a spin-on separator element, which threads on to the
separator tank by an adapter and should not be mistaken for the lubricant filter. To replace the separator
element:
1. Lock-Out/Tag Out the Equipment and ensure that the service valve at the discharge of the
compressor has been closed. Vent the air between the service valve and the compressor check
valve prior to proceeding.
2. Prepare area for collecting any residual lubricant that would escape.
3. Remove the lubricant separator element with a strap wrench.
4. Inspect lubricant head sealing surfaces and scavenging line.
5. Install new gasket or O-ring onto head.
6. Hand tighten element.
7. Secure element an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn with strap wrench.
8. Re-tighten element after it has been heated and pressurized.
