Ingersoll Rand Mobile Compressor 9/270

WARNING: Do not remove the filter(s) without first making sure that the machine is stopped and the system has been completely relieved of all air pressure.

• Disconnect all hoses and tubes from the separator tank cover plate.

• Remove the drop–tube from the separator tank cover plate and then remove the cover plate. Remove the separator element.

• Examine the filter element. Examine all hoses and tubes, and replace if necessary.

• Thoroughly clean the orifice/drop tube and filter gasket contact area before reassembly. Install the new element.

WARNING! Do not remove the staple from the anti–static gasket on the separator element since it serves to ground any possible static build–up.Do not use gasket sealant since this will affect electrical conductance.

Warning: This inspection requires trained personnel with PPE!

Scavenge line runs from the combined orifice/drop tube in the separator tank to the orifice fitting located in the airend

Orifice, check valve and hoses examined

Scavenge line and tube are clear of any obstruction

Cleaned the exterior of the filter housing?

Removed the filter element by releasing the nut?

If the safety element is to be renewed, thoroughly cleaned the interior of the filter housing?

Checked for cracks, holes or any other damage to the element by holding it up to a light source, or by passing a lamp inside?

Checked the seal at the end of the element and replaced if any sign of damage is evident?

Assembled the new element into the filter housing ensuring that the seal seats properly?

Secured the element in the housing by hand tightening the nut?

Assembled the dust collector box parts, ensuring that they are correctly positioned?

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

When grease, oil and dirt accumulate on the exterior surfaces of the oil cooler and radiator, the efficiency is impaired.

Oil cooler and radiator cleaned with compressed air and non-flammable cleaning solvent?

This should remove any accumulation of oil, grease and dirt from the exterior core of the cooler so that the entire cooling area can radiate the heat of the lubricating and cooling oil/water into the air stream.

Warning: Hot engine coolant and steam can cause injury.

When adding coolant or antifreeze solution to the engine radiator, stop the engine at least one minute prior to releasing the radiator filler cap.

Engine stopped at least one minute prior to releasing the radiator filler cap?

Using a cloth to protect the hand, slowly release the filler cap, absorbing any released fluid with the cloth.

Filler cap slowly released and any released fluid absorbed with a cloth?

WARNING: Do not remove the filter(s) without first making sure that the machine is stopped and the system has been completely relieved of all air pressure.

• Clean the exterior of the filter housing and remove the spin–on element by turning it in a counter–clockwise direction.

CAUTION: If there is any indication of the formation of varnishes, shellacs or lacquers on the filter element, it is a warning that the compressor lubricating and cooling oil has deteriorated and that it should be changed immediately. Refer to LUBRICATION later in this section.

• Clean the filter gasket contact area and install the new element by screwing in a clockwise direction until the gasket makes contact with the filter housing. Tighten a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a revolution.

CAUTION: Start the machine and check for leakage before the machine is put back into service.;
