1.5.3 Cooling
The C-D/DV/Navy is air cooled by the combination flywheel/cooling fan. The cooling fan blows air
across the cylinder cooling fins, the inter-coolers and after-coolers. The C-D/DV/Navy is designed to
operate in ambient temperature ranges of 32° F — 115° F.
2. Referenced to standard inlet conditions of 68°F and 36% humidity at 14.70 psia.
^ CAUTION
Do not overfill the compressor with oil.
2. Using a Bauer purification wrench (Bauer part number WRH-0005) remove the purification cham-
ber cap and install the purification cartridges as shown in Figure 2-2. Make sure all dust caps are
removed, the O-rings are lubricated, the cartridge seats properly and the chamber vent valve is
closed. Reseal the purification chamber cap using the purification wrench.

3. Ensure the fill hose (Figure 2-3) is connected to the adapter that attaches to the pressure maintaining
valve as seen in Figure 2-4. Tighten the fitting hand tight plus one half of a turn being careful not to
cross thread or strip the threads on the hose connection.
4. Once the hose connections are secured install the compressor air intake hose (See Figure 2-5) to the
intake filter, located on the 1st stage of the compressor. Secure the hose with a proper sized hose
clamp. Ensure that the compressor air intake is supplied with fresh air. The intake air must not con-
tain any exhaust fumes or flammable vapors such as paint solvents, which may cause an internal
fire. Make sure that the intake air is unobstructed and moisture in the intake air is kept to a mini-
mum. It is important that units draw in clean air. The quality of the incoming air determines the
quality of the compressed air.
5. Bleed off any internal pressure by opening the bleed valve and manual drain valves. Then Close
them prior to starting the unit. The bleed valve is located at the outlet side of the purification cham-
ber (See Figure 2-6). The manual drain valves are on the bottom of the intermediate separator and
the bottom of the oil/water separator (See Figure 2-7).

^ CAUTION
Do Not Attempt To Start The Engine Until Step 7 Is Completed!
Failure to complete this step could result in damage to the recoil starter.
8. Push down the Decompression Lever and release it. (See Figure 2-11). This relieves the pressure in
the engine allowing the engine to start unloaded.
9. Quickly pull recoil starter handle out to its full length. Repeat this process as many times as neces-
sary to start engine. Do not use excessive force as this might damage the recoil starter internal com-
ponents.
^ CAUTION
Minimum bend radius for the fill hose is 1½ inches. Less than this will cause damage to or failure of
the fill hose. Place the bottle so that the bend radius of the hose is greater than 1½ inches.
2. Adjust the fill pressure regulator to the proper fill pressure. Never exceed the storage bottle rating.
3. With the proper storage bottle connected, open the fill valve then the bottle valve.
4. After the bottle is filled close the bottle valve first then the fill valve.
5. Open the Vent valve to vent the fill hose assembly.
6. Carefully disconnect the fill hose assembly and remove the filled bottle.
7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 as necessary.

^ WARNING
Dynamic Loading
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the intermediate separator during condensate draining
subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury
or death the intermediate separator must be replaced after 85,000 load cycles. A load cycle equals one
depressurization- repressurization. The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every
fifteen minutes and is a balance between maximizing the life of the oil and water separator chamber and
maintaining the quality of the delivered air.
3.1.5.1 Maintenance
Proper operation of the compressor requires that the intermediate separator be properly serviced. See the
Maintenance Schedule, Section 4 for the correct interval. See Figure 3-8 and proceed as follows:
1. Remove piping connected to the filter head.
2. Screw off the knurled nut.
3. Remove filter head along with the sintered metal filter.
4. Remove the center screw and separate the sintered metal filter, baffle cone, and vortex plate from
the filter head.
Intake Discharge
The intake and pressure valves are fitted inside the valve heads. Note that the valves are operated by the
flow of the medium. On the intake stroke, the intake valves open and the medium flows into the cylin-
ders. At the start of the pressure stroke the intake valve closes and the medium opens the pressure valve.
3.1.7.2 General Instructions for Changing the Valves
• Always replace valves as a complete set.
• Carefully clean dirty valves. Never use a sharp tool for this purpose. Soak the valves in Varsol and
clean with a soft brush.
• Check the individual components for excessive wear. If the valve seat or valve discs are dented,
replace the valves.
• Check the valve space in the valve heads for dirt, and clean if necessary.
• Use only satisfactory gaskets and O-rings during reassembly.
• Observe the correct sequence when reassembling.

5.2.2 Maintenance
5.2.2.1 Cartridge Operating Life
Every P1 purification system is designed to process a certain volume of air before the purification car-
tridges require replacement. By using special test equipment that measures the quality of air at the outlet
any quality reduction may be detected. However as most compressor owners do not have this test equip-
ment the recommended method of determining purification cartridge operating life is to maintain a record
of the volume of air processed by the purification system.
Each compressor block is rated to produce a standard volume of air per minute and by using this figure
and the air processing capability of the purification system it is possible to calculate the maximum operat-
ing hours before the purification cartridges need to be replaced. See Paragraph 5.2.2.2 for the method of
determining this figure.
Ambient temperature of the intake air supply also causes changes to the operating life of purification car-
tridges. The standard ambient temperature is 68° F (20° C). Operating at other temperatures changes the
time before purification cartridge replacement is required. See Paragraph 5.2.2.3 for the method of calcu-
lating this adjustment factor. A form, titled Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours for recording the
ambient temperature, operating time and adjustment factor is found in Section I. It is suggested that it be
copied, placed in a protective folder and kept with the unit to record the adjusted operating hours. An
example of how this form is used is shown in Figure 5-5.
5.2.2.2 Calculating the Maximum Purification Cartridge Operating Hours
1. From the purification dataplate on the unit determine the Air Processed (cu. ft.)
2. From the compressor unit dataplate determine the Capacity (CFM).
3. Divide the Air Processed by the Capacity to obtain the Maximum Operating Time in minutes
4. Divide the Maximum Operating Time in minutes by 60 to obtain the Maximum Operating Hours.
5. Record the answer on the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form.

Bauer sets all safety valves using a calibrated gauge traceable back to a U.S. National Institute Of Stan-
dards and Technology (NIST) Registry. Safety Valves set by Bauer have a LBL-0300 affixed to show set
date and pressure set. This is recorded on a Calibration report and kept by the QA Department.
GAG-0010W/CAL is also calibrated using a NIST standard, the gauge is checked to assure it is operating
within it accuracy range of 3% of full scale deflection. By doing this a one year time frame is established
before recertification of the gauge is required. Records are also kept on the calibration of each gauge and
shipped with the gauge in all applications
