MAINTENANCE
6.1 GENERAL
As you proceed in reading this section, it will be easy
to see that the Maintenance Program for the air
compressor is quite simple. The use of the service
indicators provided for the fluid filter, air filter and
fluid separator will alert you when service
maintenance is required. When the WS Controller
display indicates service, maintenance for that
specific item is required. See instructions for each
item in FLUID FILTER MAINTENANCE on page 52.
6.2 DAILY OPERATION
Prior to starting the compressor, it is necessary to
check the fluid level in the separator/sump. Should
the level be low, simply add the necessary amount. If
the addition of fluid becomes too frequent, a simple
problem has developed which is causing this
excessive loss. See the Troubleshooting Guide on
page 55 under EXCESSIVE COMPRESSOR FLUID
CONSUMPTION for a probable cause and remedy.
After a routine start has been made, observe the
controller display and be sure it monitors the correct
readings for their particular phase of operation. After
the compressor has warmed up, it is recommended
that a general check on the overall compressor be
made to assure that the compressor is running
properly.
6.3 MAINTENANCE EVERY 2000
HOURS
After 2000 hours of operation, it will be necessary to
perform the following:
1. Replace the fluid filter element.
2. Pull oil sample for analysis
3. Check air filter. Change if necessary.
6.4 FLUID MAINTENANCE
Drain the separator/sump and change the
compressor fluid using instructions shown in
Lubrication Guide, Application Guide and Lubrication
Change Recommendations and Maintenance—Fluid
Filter and Separator.
WARNING
Before any repairs are attempted, refer to
Section 1: Safety before proceeding.
