10.0 MAINTENANCE
Separator element change procedure for N250/ 300H−2S
•Disconnect the scavenge tube at the airend.
•Loosen the fitting that holds the scavenge tube into the tank and withdraw the tube assembly
•Disconnect the piping from the tank cover. Tag the lines if required.
•Use a suitable wrench and remove the bolts that hold the tank cover in position. Remove cover by lifting up and away.
•Carefully lift the separator element up and out of the tank. Discard the faulty element.
•Clean the gasket surface on both the tank and its cover. Exercise care to prevent pieces of the old gasket from falling down into the tank.
•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 gaskets for possible damage. Center the element up within the tank.
•Place the tank cover in its correct position and install bolts. Tighten the bolts in a cross−pattern to prevent over−tightening one side of the cover. An improperly tightened cover will likely result in a leak.
•Tank cover bolt torque values 250−300 HP
3/4−10 UNC 210ft−lb. (285 n−M)
•Inspect tank scavenge screen and orifice. Clean if necessary following instructions in Section 4.7.
•Install scavenge tube down into the tank until the tube just touches the separator element and then raise it 1/8inch (3.2 mm). Tighten fittings.
•Install the regulation lines in their original position.
•Start unit, check for leaks, place in service.

Scavenge screen clean/check procedure
The screen/orifice assemblies are similar in appearance to a straight tubing connector and will be located between two pieces of 1/4 inch O.D. scavenge line tubing.
The main body is made from 1/2 inch hexagon shaped steel and the diameter of the orifice and a direction−of−flow arrow is stamped in flat areas of the hexagon.
A removeable screen and orifice is located in the exit end of the assembly. (see figure) and will require clearing as outlined in the Maintenance Schedule Section 10.2.
To remove the screen/orifice, disconnect the scavenge line tubing from each end. Hold the center section firmly and use a pair of pliers to gently grasp the exit end of the assembly that seals against the scavenge line tubing. Pull the end out of the center section while using care to prevent damage to the screen or sealing surfaces.
Clean and inspect all parts prior to reinstallation.
When the assembly is installed, confirm the direction of flow to be correct. Observe the small arrow stamped in the center section and ensure the direction flow to be from the separator tank to the airend.

warning
Unscrew the jacking bolt sufficiently to ensure that the cover can be fully tightened down without im- parting any stress onto the jacking points. Tighten down the cover setscrews.
•Start the compressor and check for leaks and coolant level.
caution
Do not use any form of sealant on either the separa- tor tank or the separator tank cover faces.
Separator tank / Pressure system
At 2000 hour intervals, inspect the external surfaces of the airend and separator tank, including all fittings, for visible signs of impact damage, excessive corrosion and abrasions. When changing the separator element inspect the internal components and surfaces. Any suspect parts should be replaced before the compressor is put back into service.
The separator tank should also be tested and inspected in accordance with any national or local codes that may exist.
