Maintenance
Between operations of the CAFSPro make sure system components are filled with
the proper grade and amount of oil. These components include the Air Compres-
sor System and Drive Unit Gearbox.
The following procedures are provided to assist in the periodic maintenance of oil
levels. For detailed maintenance instructions of individual components, refer to the
maintenance and operation manuals that were supplied with the apparatus.
Service should be performed by a trained and qualified service technician, or your
authorized Hale Products service representative. Be sure you have sufficient
knowledge, experience, the proper tools and Hale genuine replacement parts
before you attempt any repair maintenance.
For an illustrated CAFSPro system, see Figure 2-4: “CAFSPro Pump System Over-
view” on page 19.
WARNING !
DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON THE CAFSPRO SYSTEM WHILE THE
APPARATUS IS RUNNING. MAKE SURE THE APPARATUS IS SHUT DOWN
AND COMPONENTS HAVE COOLED BEFORE ATTEMPTING MAINTENANCE.
THE PROPER OIL LEVEL MUST BE MAINTAINED IN THE AIR COMPRESSOR
SYSTEM AT ALL TIMES. LOW OIL LEVEL OR NO OIL COULD RESULT IN
EXCESSIVE COMPRESSOR TEMPERATURE AND MAJOR DAMAGE. HIGH
OIL LEVEL COULD CAUSE THE CONTROL SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION OR
CAUSE A DRIVE FAILURE.
7.1 AIR COMPRESSOR MOISTURE DRAIN
After the air compressor system is used and has had time to COOL to ambi-
ent temperature, accumulated moisture must be drained from the oil reser-
voir separator.
Drain Moisture
(See Figure 7-1: ‘Maintenance Overview’ on page 52.)
1. To drain the moisture from the system, locate the oil and moisture drain
valve on the bottom of the oil reservoir separator.
