Routine Maintenance (continued)
Compressor Oil and Filter - Drying the Separator
Element
The air/oil receiver separates the oil from the air/oil mixture
after compression has taken place.
In extreme conditions it is possible for the separator element
(A) to become saturated. This condition could result in oil
carry over (oil through tool air lines).
The procedure below describes how to dry out the separator
element.
1 Park the machine on firm level ground. Engage the
parking brake and set the transmission to neutral.
2 Run the compressor at maximum revs for 10 minutes
with the air cocks B closed.
!!
CAUTION
Stand clear and to one side when opening the air cock.
Never allow compressed air to be directed to your skin.
Compressed air can cause injury to you or others.
3 Open one air cock slightly without any pressure drop
on the gauges, run the compressor at maximum revs
for a further 10 minutes.
Note: The above procedures should dry out the separator
element and stop oil carry over, however further checks are:
i Check the oil level, make sure that the correct grade of
oil has been used.
ii Drain the separator tank daily (tap C).
iii Make sure the machine does not work on a steep
incline (up to 15% allowed) for an extended length of
time.
