Changing Oil
1.
Shut down compressor and allow
machine to set for 5-10 minutes.
2.
Drain oil completely. Be sure to
include oil in system piping, cooler
and air/oil separator tank. Close
drain valve.
3.
Remember to remove and change oil
filter, taking care to avoid hot oil
during replacement.
4.
Open oil fill port and add new oil.
DO NOT OVERFILL
.
Residual oil may still be in the compressor.
The above capacities can be used for
guidelines, but use the upper arrow fill line
on the sight glass (See page 7). Over filling
causes oil to blowout the inlet valve and
through the air filter, also oil could push
past the separation system resulting in oil in
the air lines.
Use only Polar Air oil, model
no.Oil003. For food manufacturing
applications, use model no. Oil001. Use of any
other product causes product damage and
voids the warranty. Refer to warranty
statement for oil requirements
Failure to perform regular
oil changes may cause equipment damage
and will void warranty. Oil must be changed
annually regardless of hours used.
Belts
To avoid serious personal
injury, be sure to relieve all
system pressure then lock out
power and tag compressor to
prevent unexpected movement
of the unit.
Inspect belt tension after first 30 hours of
operation then every two weeks.
1.
Check belt tension on each
individual belt in the center of each
pulley, and should have ¼”deflection
up and ¼” deflection down. When
tighting belts use spring loaded belt
tensioner, after belts are tight be sure
to use both nuts to lock spring
tensioner to prevent loosening during
operation
2.
Always replace all belts with the
same brand, at the same time. Make
sure belts are uni-matched. Do not
replace belts independently.
3.
Do not splash lubricating oil on belts
or pulleys when adjusting or
replacing belts.
System Pressure
System pressure is factory set but
can be regulated depending on
operating conditions. Refer to
computer control specifications for
setting adjustments or PLC operating
manual.
Safety Valve
TO AVOID SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH,
NEVER ATTEMPT TO
REGULATE OR TAMPER
WITH SAFETY VALVE.
VALVE IS SEALED AND
CERTIFIED BY ASME CODE AND IS
DESIGNED TO RELIEVE SYSTEM
PRESSURE WHEN NECESSARY.
Air/Oil Separator
Filter
Air/Oil Separator tank is
a pressurized component.
To avoid serious injury,
be sure system pressure
is relieved before removing filter. Be aware
oil temperature may be very hot. Use caution
when changing filter.
1.
Relieve all air pressure from air/oil
separator tank, then wait
approximately
5-10 minutes before replacing filter.
2.
Replace air/oil separator filter. Do
not attempt to clean.
