Your factory invoice should state which optional features are included. The full auto version sells for $4250. It appears that yours has auto shutoff but not autopurge. Autopurge omits the two moisture relief valves on the left side moisture separator tower.
I ordered pretty much every option you could get on my compressor. If you want to see any pictures.
Not to be a wise guy, did you try 18 mm? I can’t recall what wrench I used, perhaps SAE? Check my last post in the other Alkin thread for a spill free oil change.
I want to know if it’s safe to use silicone grease and petroleum jelly together. I may just use Vaseline myself since that’s already what’s on there.
@Skydivingmiami How’d your old oil look after you drained it? Did you put 6 hours on your unit in a single year? What sort of desiccant media did you use to replace what was originally in the purifier tower?
My oil was about 2 years old. the oil was changed once after breakin, so it had about 5 hours - it doesn't take much to fill a couple tanks with this machine, so the hours don't really rack up. My old oil was golden brown(more on the brown side). Still had life left in It, but I decided to just change it. The desiccant came from Alkin, wanted to freshen up the desiccant just incase. had a refill kit on hand, what a pita to recharge it. A little confusing as there were so many different layers and a tube inside the actual filter that needs to be removed. Finally got it after about an hour or so with fiddling with the washers that go inside it to lay flat. Next time I'll probably just get a replacement pack, I know aftermarket versions are sold also
hmm, that's not a good thing. I think they sell kits to rebuild. or at least they should have the parts to replace that bearing before it does come apart.
