LUBRICANT CHANGE PROCEDURE - Following are the primary steps to be completed when upgrading or changing the type of lubricant.

HEAVY-DUTY AIR FILTER furnished as standard equipment on units with an enclosure is a heavy-duty washable element dry type air filter. The air filter must receive proper maintenance if maximum service is to be obtained from the unit. Establishing adequate and timely filter service is MOST IMPORTANT. An improperly maintained air filter can cause a loss of compressor air delivery.

Filter Element - Clean every 50 to 150 operating hours depending on dust conditions.

Use only genuine Gardner Denver air filter elements on Gardner Denver compressor units. Genuine parts are available through your authorized Gardner Denver distributor.

1. Remove the wingnut and pull out the filter element.

2. Visually inspect the element. If cleaning is not necessary, reinstall the filter element. If the element requires cleaning, follow steps 3, 4 and 5.

3. Wash the element by soaking about 15 minutes in warm water with a mild non-sudsing detergent.

Rinse the element thoroughly with clean water; a hose may be used if the water pressure does not exceed 40 psig (2.8 bar).

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. Use the following procedure to replace the filter element. Do not disturb the piping.

Clean the gasket face of the filter body.

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