ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
This section refers to the various components which require periodic
maintenance and replacement.
For all other maintenance, contact your local Ingersoll Rand service provider.
Refer to safety information and maintenance procedures prior to carrying out
any of the maintenance in the following sections.

Checking Coolant Level


The coolant level should be checked daily. A coolant level sight glass is
located on the side of the separator tank and while the machine is running on
load, coolant should always be visible in the sight glass. The normal position
is half way. The machine should be running for at least 40 seconds for this
check.
Stop the machine, ensure sump pressure is 0 psig and ensure coolant is still
visible in the sight glass.

Adding Coolant

Run the compressor for a minimum of 40 seconds, the coolant level should
be visible in the sight glass. If not: 4. Start the compressor and check for leaks.

1. Stop the compressor. 5. Check the coolant level, refilling if necessary.

NOTICE

On air cooled units, you may also drain coolant from the oil cooler by
removing plug.
You may also drain additional coolant from airend by removing plug
in airend discharge elbow.

4. Clean the sealing surface on both the tank and its cover. Check the
tank to be absolutely certain that no foreign objects such as rags
or tools have been allowed to fall into the tank. Install replacement
element down into the tank after checking the new element seal/
gasket for possible damage. Center the element up within the tank.
Rotate the tank cover back into position taking care not to damage
the seal/gasket , and locate the cover using 2 capscrews but do not
tighten down.
5. Completely remove the pivot bolt and tighten the cover bolts in a
cross-pattern to prevent over-tightening one side of the cover. An
improperly tightened cover will likely result in a leak.

NOTICE

Unscrew the jacking bolt sufficiently to ensure that the cover can be
fully tightened down without imparting any stress onto the jacking
points. Tighten down the cover bolts.
