Gardner Denver Air Compressor EAH99D

COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER - This screw on oil filter is a vital part in maintaining a trouble-free compressor, since it removes dirt and abrasives from the circulated oil. The oil filter relief valve is located in the oil filter head. The relief valve opens in the event the element becomes dirty enough to block the flow of oil.

Use only the replacement element shown on the filter tag or refer to the parts list for the part number.

Stop the unit and be sure no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.

Clean the gasket face of the filter body.

Coat the new element gasket with clean lubricant used in the unit.

Screw the new element on the filter body and tighten by hand. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE ELEMENT.

Run the unit and check for leaks.
