Lube Oil Strainer, Filter & Filter Installation Instructions<br />
Lube Oil Strainer<br />
The strainer is located on the auxiliary end of the crankcase below the oil level. The strainer<br />
basket should be taken out and washed in an appropriate solvent whenever the lubricating<br />
oil is changed.<br />
Lube Oil Filter<br />
Ariel recommends replacing filter element when differential pressure reaches approximately<br />
10 PSI (70 kPa) across the filter at normal operating temperatures or at six month intervals.<br />
Filter Element Installation Instructions<br />
1. Clean filter base surface, and be certain old gasket is removed.<br />
2 Fill filter with clean oil using the same grade oil as in the crankcase.<br />
3 Apply clean lube oil to the filter gasket.<br />
4 After the filter gasket contacts the base, tighten one turn.<br />
5 After starting the unit, check for leaks, and retighten if necessary.<br />
6 Do not run unit with a damaged filter can. It can fracture or leak. Replace only<br />
with an Ariel approved filter.<br />
NOTE: FAILURE TO FILL FILTER VESSEL WITH OIL, PRIOR TO STARTING, CAN<br />
CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR.<br />
