3. Remove the oil filter, which is of the spin-off variety.<br />
4. Catch any excess oil in a separate container.<br />
5. Inspect the new filter and then, using clean oil, lightly lubricate the gasket.<br />
6. Install the new filter element by threading it on and continuing to turn it until hand tight, plus an<br />
additional 1/4 turn.<br />
7. Wipe the new filter clean and, after the oil pump has started, inspect for possible leaks.<br />
8. Dispose of the used oil and old filter according to plant procedures.<br />
Duplex Oil Filter Element Replacement<br />
<strong>The</strong> Duplex Oil Filter option allows for oil filter replacement without the necessity of shutting down the<br />
compressor in order to perform this routine maintenance task. Separate file chambers are incorporated<br />
with a transfer valve. When required, replace the duplex oil filter elements as follows:<br />
5—10<br />
WARNING:<br />
Before servicing, be sure the chamber being serviced is not being utilized. Do not attempt<br />
to remove the oil filter element until the oil pressure in that chamber is zero (O). Hot oil<br />
under pressure presents a safety hazard to personnel.<br />
1. Using an Allen wrench, turn the bleed screw counterclockwise until the screw head touches the<br />
safety plate on the side not in use (opposite the locking pin).<br />
2. Catch any excess oil in a separate container.<br />
3. Inspect the new filter and then, using clean oil, lightly lubricate the gasket.<br />
CAUTION:<br />
Use a Cooper <strong>Turbo</strong>compressor replacement filter only. This will ensure safe and reliable<br />
performance.<br />
4. Unscrew the filter bowl, and remove the old filter element.<br />
5. Install the new filter element and replace the filter bowl.<br />
6. Depress the balance valve lever until oil begins to bleed through the bleed screw.<br />
7. Turn the bleed screw clockwise until tight. Depress the balance valve lever once more to pressurize<br />
the filter bowl.<br />
8. Dispose of the used oil and old filter according to plant procedures.
