OIL SEPARATOR ELEMENT

hours. To replace the element proceed as follows:
* Ensure the tank pressure is zero.
* Disconnect the hose from the scavenge tube.

* Remove (8) cover mounting screws.
* Remove cover, element and inner shell.
* Remove any gasket material left on cover or tank.
* Install new gasket, inner shell and new element.
*Place a straightedge across top of element and mea-
sure from bottom of straightedge to bottom of ele-
ment (See Fig. 4.1).
*
Reposition cover (use care not to damage gaskets).
*Replace cover mounting screws: tighten in a criss-
cross pattern to 180--190 lbs.--ft.
*Reconnect service line. Reconnect hose.
*Close service valve. Start unit and look for leaks.
When replacing the element, the scavenge lines, ori-
fice, filter, and check valve should be thoroughly
cleaned and the oil changed.

connection.
