BE Pressure supply 80 Gallon Enclosed Rotary Screw Compressor AC1080SQ - Manual (Page 22)

22
Reset the filter indicator and the machine will be ready for operation.
If the compressor is turned off before being fully unloaded it can cause
the unit to discharge oil into the air filter housing causing it to stop up or
become contaminated.
Oil Filter
The oil filter in the compressor system is a full flow replaceable canister
type. Initially the filter should be replaced after 50 hours of operation.
Then every 1000 hours or sooner as indicated by a maintenance gauge.
This element protects the compressor bearings from grit and dirt
ingression throughout the system. A dirty filter will cause an oil flow
restriction that can result in high oil temperature and a unit shutdown.
Oil Filter Replacement
Switch off the unit and disconnect
1. The power to prevent accidental starting.
2. Allow one minute after stopping for the system to settle and the
pressure to be relieved.
3. Using a strap wrench, remove the old element and gasket.
4. Clean the gasket surface with a clean rag.
5. Apply a light film of oil to the new gasket.
6. Hand tighten the new element until the new gasket is seated in the
gasket groove.
7. Continue tightening by hand an additional ½ to ¾ turn.
8. Reconnect power and restart the machine to check for leaks.
Air/Oil Separator
The air/oil separator should be changed every 2000 hours, or when there
is excessive oil vapor in the discharge air.
DANGER
Hot oil under pressure will cause severe injury, death, or property damage.
Be sure the compressor is shutdown and pressure relieved before
attempting to remove the oil filter, separator, oil fill, or change the oil.
