CAUTION !
USE THE EXACT REPLACEMENT OIL FILTER. OTHER FILTER TYPES MAY
NOT WITHSTAND THE SYSTEM PRESSURE AND OIL FILTER FAILURE
COULD LEAD TO A MAJOR COMPRESSOR FAILURE.
8. Screw the new oil filter onto the oil filter adapter being careful not to
cross thread the filter.
Initially tighten the filter hand-tight, then tighten an additional 1/2 to 3/4
turn using an oil filter wrench.
9. Remove the oil fill plug from the fill pipe located on the oil reservoir sep-
arator.
10. Refill system with oil. The system requires approximately 8 to 9 quarts
(7.5 to 8.5 liters) of SAE 15W-40HD motor oil. The proper oil level is
when oil is visible in 1/2 to 3/4 of the sight gauge when the compressor
is NOT running.
WARNING !
ALWAYS ALLOW OIL TO SETTLE PRIOR TO CHECKING LEVEL. DO NOT
OVERFILL THE SYSTEM.
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 A
DRIVE FAILURE.
11. When the system is filled to the proper level, check and clean the O-ring
seal on the fill plug, then replace the plug. DO NOT over-tighten.
WARNING !
WHEN STARTING CAFSPRO UNIT DURING MAINTENANCE, MAKE SURE
ALL TOOLS AND LOOSE CLOTHING ARE KEPT AWAY FROM ROTATING
COMPONENTS. KEEP HANDS, FACE AND ARMS AWAY FROM ROTATING
COMPONENTS WHILE SYSTEM IS OPERATING. ALSO SEE SECTION 1
“SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” ON PAGE 7.
12. Start the system and energize the air compressor to allow pressure to
build and circulate oil through the hoses.
