Replacing the Compressor Oil Filter

Read the
“Maintenance and Repair” safety section
before working on the system.

Do not attempt to change the oil filter until the oil has
cooled. Hot oil can cause severe burns.

Always use a VMAC oil filter. VMAC oil filters are
designed to work properly at system pressure.
Standard automotive oil filters are NOT capable of
withstanding system pressure.

Never over-tighten the filter, as this may damage the
seal or the filter.

Ensure the new filter is a genuine VMAC filter, part
number 9200039. This oil filter is a high pressure oil
filter, not an automotive oil filter, which will rupture
under high pressure.
1) Clean the area around the tank and the filter to prevent
contamination.
2) Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise. Before discarding
the filter, ensure that the threaded nipple did not unscrew with the
filter. If the nipple is in the filter, remove it carefully to avoid thread
damage and replace it in the tank (Figure 36,Figure 37).
