CAUTION
!
To minimize the possibility of filter element rup-
ture, it is important that ONLY replacement ele-
ments identified with the Sullair name, logo and
appropriate part numbers be used, and that sub-
stitute elements NOT be used, due to the fact that
such filters may have inadequate or questionable
working pressure ratings.
FLUID FILTER REPLACEMENT (200 &
250HP/150 & 187KW)
Refer to Figure 6---2. The main filter (P/N
250007---219) is located schematically between the
compressor cooler and the compressor injection
port. When servicing the main filter, shut the com-
pressor down and follow the instructions below. For
element replacement order kit number

1. Remove the four (4) capscrews which secure the
filter head to the canister.
2. Pull the canister away from the filter head. The fil-
ter element will be attached to the head.
3. Separate the element from the canister.
4. Remove the canister seal.
5. Thoroughly clean the filter head and canister in
solvent.
6. Lubricate the new seals with the same type of
fluid used in the compressor and position each
seal in its appropriate place.
7. Carefully push the element back into position on
the filter head.
8. Hold the canister in position under the housing
and replace the capscrews, securing the canis-
ter and filter head.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
100---150HP/75---112K W
RefertoFigure6---3.Airfilter(P/N408399)mainte-
nance should be performed when the maintenance
gauge is showing red or once a year, whichever oc-
curs first. If the filter needs to be replaced, order ele-
ment no. 405158. Below you will find procedures on
how to replace the air filter element.
AIR FILTER ELEMENT REPLACEMENT
1. Clean the exterior of the air filter housing.
2. Remove the air filter cover by loosening the wing
bolt securing the cover.
3. Remove element and clean interior of housing
using a damp cloth.
DO NOT
blow dirt out with
compressed air.
4. At this time, replace the element.
5. Re---assemble in reverse order of the disassem-
bly.
ELEMENT INSPECTION
1. Place a bright light inside the element to inspect
for damage or leak holes. Concentrated light
shines through the element and locates any
holes.
2. Inspect all gaskets and gasket contact surfaces
of the housing. Should faulty gaskets be evident,
correct the condition immediately.
3. If the clean element is to be stored for later use, it
must be stored in a clean container.
4. After the element has been installed, inspect and
tighten, if necessary, all air inlet connections prior
to resuming operation.
