7.7.8 SUMP BREATHER FILTER MAINTENANCE
Refer to Figure 7--9. This filter (P/N 02250118--025)
prevents sump pressure build--up and traps oil aero-
sol emanating from the compressor stages and gear
box. It uses a fine, replaceable element P/N
02250118--258, which may be accessed as follows:
INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT OF ELEMENT
1. Unscrew filter from vent line.
2. Inspect or replace the element with the new filter .

7.7.9 OIL SUMP STRAINER MAINTENANCE
The suction line of the oil pump is fItted with a 100
mesh, stainless steel strainer to protect its internals
from foreign matter . To service the cleanable strain-

1. With package starter de--energized, remove
sump--to--oil pump hose and disconnect oil by-
pass hose.
2. Loosen/remove bolts/washers securing circular

3. Remove cover plate and gasket away from sump
tank-- some 1/4” control tubing may have to be re-
moved to provide clearance.
4. Inspect, clean, and/or replace strainer.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
7.7.10 BLOWDOWN VALVE MAINTENANCE

5. Re-secure cover by re-positioning bolts, washers
and nuts. Tighten.
7.7.11 DRIVE COUPLING MAINTENANCE
Refer to Figures 7-11 and 7-12. The compressor unit
and motor are rigidly connected via a rigid adaptor
piece, thus the shafts are maintained in proper align-
ment at assembly. However , during the initial start--
up, after transportation and installation, drive cou-
