1.5Air Flow Diagram
See Figure 1-4.
The air is drawn in through the Telescopic Tube (1) through the Intake Filter (2) and is compressed to
final pressure in the Cylinders (3, 4 and 5). It is recooled by the Intercoolers (6 and 7) and the Aftercooler (9). The pressure of the individual stages is controlled by Safety Valves (10 and 11). The compressed air is cleaned in the Intermediate Separator (8) and purified in the P0 Filter System (13). The
Intermediate Separator and P0 Filter System are drained by the Condensate Drain Valves (15). The
Pressure Maintaining Valve (16) provides a constant pressure within the P0 Filter System. The purified
compressed air then passes through the Fill Hose (17) and Fill Valve (18) to the bottles to be filled. Fill
pressure is indicated by the Final Pressure Gauge (19).The Final Safety Valve (12) is adjusted to blow
off at the pressure selected.

CHAPTER 2: OPERATION
2.1Preparation for Operation
Prior to operating the unit for the first time, read this Instruction Manual carefully.
1. Make sure that all persons operating the compressor unit and associated equipment are familiar with
the function of all controls and indicators.
2. Thoroughly comply with the paragraphs titled Safety contained in the Appendix to this manual.
3. If the unit has been out of service for two years or more and uses synthetic compressor oil change
the compressor oil. If the unit uses petroleum based compressor oil change it after being out of service one year.
4. During the initial operation or prior to operation subsequent to repairs operate the unit for at least
five minutes with open outlet valve (unpressurized) to ensure proper lubrication of all parts before
pressure is built up.
5. Prior to each operation check the oil level according to Section 2 Lubrication and determine
whether maintenance is necessary in accordance with Section 13.
6. Every time the unit is started, check all systems for proper operation. If any malfunction is observed
stop the unit immediately and find the cause of the fault or call the service department.
2.2Starting the Unit.
1. Close condensate drain valves and run the unit to the final pressure. Check final pressure safety
valve and pressure gauge.
2. As soon as the final pressure safety valve blows off, open the condensate valve and drain conden-
sate. The unit is now ready for filling operations.
2.3Filling Procedure
^ WARNING ^
Ensure the intake air is free from noxious gas, exhaust fumes and solvent vapors.
^ WARNING ^
Never open fill valves or shut off valves when under pressure and the hose is not connected as discharging
high pressure compressed air can cause serious accidents.
^ WARNING ^
Fill hoses must be in satisfactory condition and the threads must be undamaged. Pay particular attention to
the interface from hose fitting to hose. If the rubber is scored, the hose must be discarded, otherwise water
can corrode the wire gauze causing a hose failure.

2.3.1General Procedures
1. The fill valve connection is of the manual type permitting connection to the air tank without tools.
An O-ring is provided for sealing purposes.
2. Compressed air tank fill valves for pressure in excess of 2900 psi (200 bar) are standardized and
connectors for 2900 psi (200 bar) and 4400 psi (300 bar) are different and can not be mixed up.
3. To ensure safe air tank removal after filling, the fill valve has an integral venting bore. Therefore
always close the tank valve before closing the fill valve.
4. During the fill procedure the bottles will warm up due to recompression.
5. After filling, remove and allow the bottle to cool down. When it is cool the bottle may be reconnected and topped up to its maximum filling pressure.
2.3.2Bottle Filling Procedures
See Figure 2-1
^ WARNING ^
Never open the fill valve unless the bottle is connected to the fill hose. Whipping of an unrestrained hose
caused by high pressure air discharge can cause serious injury!
Junior II WT
^ CAUTION ^
The filling procedure should not be interrupted for more than 10 minutes to avoid increased CO2 levels in
the air filling the bottle.
1. Ensure both the fill valve and bottle valve are closed
2. Connect the air bottle to the compressor fill hose utilizing the fill yoke.
2.3.4Filling the Bottle
1. First open fill valve. (1)

^ CAUTION ^
The oil level must not go down below the minimum mark but also must not exceed the maximum
mark as this will cause excessive lubrication of the compressor and result in the valves carbonizing.
3.1.2Type of Oil
^ NOTE ^
The part number for the oil delivered in all Junior II compressor units is BAUER part number:
OIL-0024
Due to the thermal load on the compressor, only high quality oil should be used. It is recommended that
you restrict oil to BAUER P/N OIL-0024 which has a proven record of success and is specified for this
compressor.
Page 10 1st ed. Rev 0 Chg 3
MNL-0391
3.1.3Oil Changes
The oil must be changed every 2,000 operating hours or every two years whichever is reached first.
3.1.3.1 Oil Change Procedures
1. Run the compressor until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Remove the oil dipstick from oil filler tube.
3. While the oil is still warm, remove oil drain plug and drain oil into an appropriate container.
4. After oil has completely drained, reinstall oil drain plug and tighten.
5. Refill with 12 Fluid Ounces (360 cc) of oil, through the oil filler tube.
6. Check oil level using the oil dipstick.

6. Reinsert filter cartridge, turning it 90° so the mark made in step 2. is at the 3 o’clock position.
7. Inspect O-ring (4) and replace if damaged.
8. Replace plastic cap and tighten knurled nut
3.2.3Telescope Intake Tube
See Figure 3-2. The telescopic intake tube is inserted in the intake opening (5). This is necessary to
ensure clean intake air on gasoline engine driven compressor units. It’s use is also recommended with
electric motor driven compressor units.
3.2.4Intermediate Separator
An intermediate separator is mounted on the compressor block. This separator is designed to remove oil
and water which accumulates due to the cooling of the medium after the compression process. Separation
is achieved by means of centrifugal action provided by a vortex plate (1)

^ WARNING ^
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.

3.3Compressor Valves
3.3.1Description
The valve heads of the individual stages form the top part of the cylinders. The intake and pressure valves
are fitted inside the valve heads. (Note that the valves are operated by air flow. (See Figure 3-4). On the
suction stroke, the intake valve is opened and air flows into the cylinder. At the start of the compression
stroke the intake valve closes. the end of the compression stroke the compressed air forces the pressure
valve open.
The 1st Stage combines the intake and pressure valves in a plate valve. (See Figure 3-5).
After maintenance work on the valves, the valves should be checked for proper operation. Note that the
intake line to the valve heads is warm and the outlet piping should be hot. This indicates the valves are
operating correctly.
3.3.3Changing the Valves
• Always replace the valves as a complete set.
• Observe the correct sequence when reassembling.
• Check individual components for excessive wear . If the valve seat and valve dis ks are dented, replace
the valves.
• Valve head screws must be tightened with a torque wrench.
• Check the valve space in the valve head for dirt and clean if necessary.
April 26, 2007Page 13
BAUER
COMPRESSORS
Junior II WT
• Thirty minutes after restarting the compressor unit, stop the unit, let it cool to ambient temperature
and retighten the valve studs and cap nuts. Otherwise valves could work loose due to the setting of the
gaskets.
• After finishing all maintenance work on the valves, turn the compressor by hand using the flywheel
and check that all items have been correctly installed.
• Remove and check the valves every 1,000 operating hours.
• Replace the valves every 2,000 operating hours to avoid fatigue failure

CHAPTER 5:PURIFICATION SYSTEM
5.1General
The purpose of all Bauer industrial air purification systems is to remove oil and water from the compressed air stream before final delivery. For this reason Bauer purification systems are installed immediately before the compressed air delivery point.
^ WARNING ^
Industrial Air Purification System cartridges do not remove carbon monoxide and therefore must not be
used in breathing air applications
5.1.1General Purification System Procedures
1. Keep an accurate record of operating hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals
2. Change all cartridges before reactivating a compressor unit that has been out of service more than
three months. Leave cartridges in the unit as long as it is out of service.
3. While out of service keep all condensate drain valves closed. Maintain a pressure of 700 to 1,100
psi (50 to 80 bar) within the system to prevent moisture from entering the compressor and purification system.
5.1.2Chamber Safety Bore
The chambers in all BAUER purification systems are designed to prevent pressurization if the cartridge is
missing, not seated properly or damaged (See Figure 5-1). Without a cartridge properly in place the
safety bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the atmosphere, no pressure can be built up and thus it is
ensured that unfiltered air is not supplied to the consuming device. If air is escaping from the safety bore
remove and check cartridge. If necessary replace the cartridge or O-rings.

5.1.3Manual Condensate Drainage
The condensate must be drained from the oil and water separator before changing any cartridge, before
beginning each filling procedure and in the absence of an Automatic Condensate Drain System, every fifteen minutes during the filling procedure. This is done by slowly opening the condensate drain valves.
They are opened approximately 1/3 of a turn to the left and held open until the condensate is completely
drained. The condensate drain valves close by spring pressure but if necessary may be tightened by hand
to ensure they are completely air tight.
5.1.4Model, Serial Number and Part Number Identification
5.1.4.1 Compressor Dataplate
The model number, date of manufacture and serial number can be found on the compressor unit identification plate in the main electrical enclosure and frame.

5.1.6Cartridge Operating Life
Every BAUER Purification System is designed to process a certain volume of air before the cartridges
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 equipment
the recommended method of determining cartridge operating life is to maintain a written record of the
volume of air processed by the purification system.
Each BAUER compressor block is rated to produce a standard volume of air per minute and by using this
number and the air processing capability of the purification system it is possible to calculate the maximum operating hours before the cartridges need to be replaced. See Paragraph 5.1.6.1 for the method of
determining this figure.
The ambient air temperature and its ability to cool the compressor will effect the operating life of the cartridge. See Paragraph 5.1.6.2 for the method of calculating this adjustment factor.
April 26, 2007Page 41
BAUER
COMPRESSORS
The optimum place to measure the temperature is at the inlet to the final separator as this best reflects the
temperature of the air as it enters the chambers. Experience has shown that this temperature is approximately 10° F above the ambient temperature. Therefore for the purpose of calculating cartridge operating
life use the Ambient Air Temperature plus 10° F.
A form titled Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours is found in Paragraph 5.1.6.3 and in the Appendices. It is used for recording the ambient temperature, operating time and adjustment factor. 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 1-5.
5.1.6.1 Calculating the Maximum Cartridge Operating Hours
1. From the purification system dataplate (See Figure 5-2) on the purification chamber determine the
Air Processed (cu.ft.)
2. From the paragraph titled Compressor Specifications in the instruction manual for your compressor
unit determine the Charging Rate in SCFM of your compressor.
3. Divide the Air Processed by the Charging Rate to obtain the Maximum Operating Time in minutes
4. Divide the Maximum Operating Time in minutes by 60 to obtain the Maximum Operating Hours.
Junior II WT
5. Record the answer on the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form.
5.1.6.2 Calculating the Adjusted Cartridge Operating Hours
1. Using the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form (FORM-0018) record the Date, Operating Hours and Ambient Air Temperature plus 10° F.
2. Using either the graph or the chart in Figure 1-4 determine the Correction Factor.
3. Divide the Operating Hours by the Correction Factor and record it under the column labeled Today.
4. Add the hours recorded in Today to the previous Total and record it as the current Total.
5. When the Total approaches the Maximum Operating Hours replace the Cartridges.

^ NOTE ^
The used filter cartridge must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
5.2.2.2 Chamber Replacement Interval
^ WARNING ^
The P0 Purification System is subject to dynamic loading. It is designed for a certain number of load
cycles. A load cycle equates to an abrupt pressure loss caused by draining the condensate.
The P0 Purification System must be replaced after reaching the maximum number of load cycles, otherwise the housing may fail due to material fatigue.
The maximum number of load cycles for the P0 Purification Assembly is 45,000 if operated at 5,000
psi (300 bar) or 63,000 if operated at 3,200 psi (225 bar).
If the number of load cycles of four per hour (i.e. the condensate is drained every fifteen minutes) is not
exceeded then the maximum number of operating hours before the P0 Purification System must be
replaced is 1,125 hours at 5,000 psi (300 bar). T o avoid exceeding the maximum number of load cycles
the operating hours should always be recorded.

CHAPTER 6:MISCELLANEOUS
6.1Safety Valves
6.1.1Description
All three compressor stages are protected by safety valves. The first and second stage safety valves are
adjusted to the correct pressure and sealed at the factory . The final stage safety valve is mounted on top
of the P0 Filter System and is adjusted to the operating pressure of the unit. The pressure settings are as
follows: 1st stage - 116 psi (8 bar); 2nd stage - 1,160 psi (80 bar); Final stage - As noted on order.
6.1.2Maintenance
6.1.2.1 Checking Function
The final pressure safety valve (See Figure 6-1) has to be checked regularly. For this purpose the final
safety valve can be vented manually. Turn the knurled knob on top of the valve clockwise until the
valve blows off. This just ensures that the valve is functional and will release pressure in case of malfunction.
6.1.2.2 Checking Blow Off Pressure
Check the blow off pressure of the final pressure safety valve in accordance with the maintenance
schedule. Run the unit with shut off valve closed until final pressure safety valve blows off. Check blow
off pressure of the safety valve at the Pressure Gauge.
We recommend checking the accuracy of Final Pressure Gauge from time to time. Slight deviations
during operation are normal and can be ignored. Excessive inaccuracy will require the pressure gauge
to be replaced.

6.3Compressor Drive System
6.3.1Description
The prime mover which is an electric motor, drives the co mpressor with a V-belt. The prime mover is
mounted on an adjustable base plate and requires periodic adjustment to ensure proper V-belt tension.
6.3.2Checking the Drive Belt
1. The proper belt tension for the V-belt is where the belt does not slip under a full load.
2. A rough value for this is when the V-belt deflects Approximately 3/8” (10mm) when pressed with
thumb pressure between the two pulleys. See Figure 6-3.
3. Readjust a new V-belt after the first twenty-five operating hours.
4. Check for damage or wear every 125 operating hours.
1. Slightly loosen the bolts holding the prime mover onto the base plate.
2. Adjust motor position until the V-belt tension is correct.
3. Tighten the prime mover mounting bolts.
4. Operate the unit for approximately five minutes. Stop the prime mover, check V-belt tension and
readjust if necessary.
5. After the V-belt tension is correct and the prime mover mounting bolts are tight, check to verify that
both pulleys are aligned. This is necessary to avoid excessive wear on the V-belt and pulleys.
6. Hold a straight edge against the compressor and prime mover pulleys as shown in Figure 6-4. The
straight edge must touch the pulleys at the four points indicated by the arrows. If it does not, adjust
the prime mover position until it does.
6.3.4Electric Maintenance
The electric motors require no maintenance except for external cleaning. For the safety of the operating
personnel all voltage carrying parts have protective covers.
Page 52 1st ed. Rev 0 Chg 3
MNL-0391
6.4Cooling System
6.4.1General
The cylinders of the compressor block, the intermediate coolers, and the after-cooler are all air cooled.
For this purpose the compressor is equipped with a fanwheel connected to the crankshaft at the end
opposite the V-belt pulley. It draws cooling air through the fanwheel cover from the surrounding atmosphere.To ensure maximum compressor unit life, provisions must be made for an adequate supply of
cooling air during installation of the compressor unit. For the same reasons the unit must not be operated above the maximum ambient temperature.

handling, operation and maintenance procedures from the very beginning. The maintenance schedule
contains measures required to keep this compressor unit in good condition. Maintenance is simple,
but must be executed regularly to achieve safe operation, maximum efficiency and long service life.
• W e recommend that all maintenanc e work be recorded in a service book, showing the date and details
of the work carried out. This will help to avoid expensive repairs caused by missed maintenance
work. If it is necessary to make a claim against the warranty, it will help to have proof that regular
maintenance has been carried out and that the damage has not been caused by insufficient maintenance.
• This compressor unit must be installed, operated, maintained and repaired only by authorized, trained
and qualified personnel.
• Consult and follow all OSHA, NEMA, ASME and local regulations, laws and codes covering the
installation and operation of this compressor and accessories before operating the unit.
• Do not operate this unit in excess of it’s rated capacity, speed, pressure, temperature, or otherwise
than in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Operation of this unit in excess of
the conditions set forth in this manual will subject the unit to limits which it may not be designed to
withstand.
• Keep safety guards in place.
• Do not modify the compressor or its systems.
• Do not wear loose clothing around machinery. Loose clothing, neckties, rings, wrists watches, brace-
lets, hand rags, etc. are potential hazards.
• Provide adequate fire protection. Make sure fire extinguishers are accessible. Select alternate routes
of escape and post such routes.
• Make sure you are equipped with all required safety equipment; hearing protection, safety glasses,
hard hats, safety shoes and fire extinguisher.
• Visually inspect the unit before starting. Remove and /or replace any loose or broken components,
tools, valves, missing equipment, etc.
• Do not tamper with, modify, or bypass safety and shutdown equipment.
• Do not tighten or adjust fitting or connections under pressure.
• The use of plastic pipe or rubber hose in place of steel tube or iron pipe, soldered joints or failure to
insure system compatibility of flex joints and flexible hose can result in mechanical failure, property
damage, and serious injury or death.
• The use of plastic or nonmetallic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be dangerous.
• Replace damaged fan blades promptly. Fan assemblies must remain in proper balance. An unbal-
anced fan can fly apart and create an extremely dangerous condition.
Page 54 1st ed. Rev 0 Chg 3
MNL-0391
• Allow the compressor to cool before servicing. Whenever the compressor is shut down and over-
heating is suspected, a minimum period of 15 minutes must elapse before opening the crankcase.
Premature opening of the crankcase of an overheated unit can result in an explosion.
• Incorrect placement of the inlet and pressure valves in a compressor cylinder head can cause an
extremely dangerous condition. Refer to the appropriate section of this manual before installing or
replacing valves.
• Before doing any work involving maintenance or adjustment, be sure the electrical supply has been
disconnected, and the complete compressor system has been vented of all internal pressure. Failure to
follow these warnings may result in an accident causing personal injury and/or property damage.
• Before working on the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the electrical supply from the system at
the circuit breaker or other manual disconnect. Do not rely on the ON/OFF switch to disconnect the
electrical supply.
• Installer must provide an earth ground and maintain proper clearance for all electrical components.
• All electrical installation must be in accordance with recognized national, state, and local electrical
codes.
• Do not use gasoline, diesel fuel or other flammable products as a cleaning solution.

7.3 Storage and Preservation
7.3.1Storage
If the compressor is removed from service for more than six months, the unit should be preserved and
stored in accordance with the following:
• Store the unit indoors in a dry, dust-free room.
• Only cover the compressor with plastic if it is certain that no condensation will form under the cover.
• Even if the unit is kept covered the outside of the unit should be cleaned.
• If this procedure cannot be followed or if the compressor is going to be removed from service for
more than two years, please contact our Technical Service Department for special instructions

^ NOTE ^
The compressor is not salt-water resistant!
If it is not in use keep the unit in a dry place.
7.3.2Preservation
7.3.2.1 Preparation for Preservation
Before preserving the compressor unit, run it until it reaches the specified service pressure then keep it
running for approximately 10 minutes. Then proceed as follows:
1. Check all pipes, filters, and valves (also safety valves) for leakage.
2. Tighten all couplings, as required.
3. Open the fill valve or the outlet valve and run the compressor at the set minimum pressure (Pressure
Maintaining Valve) for approximately 5 minutes.
4. After this 5 minutes, shut the system down. Drain condensate from the separators. Depressurize the
unit. Shut fill valves.

COMPRESSORS
5. Open filters and grease threads.
6. Ensure the filter cartridge remains in the filter.This will prevent oil from entering filling lines as
a result of preservation procedures.
7. Remove intake filter from the manifold and all intake lines from valve heads.
8. Let the compressor cool down.
7.3.2.2 Preserving the Compressor
1. Turn the compressor on and spray approximately 2 teaspoons (10 cc) of Bauer P/N OIL-0001 into
the valve head inlet port while the compressor is running. Do not let the compressor warm up.
2. Shut the compressor unit off.
3. Close all valves.
4. Place the dust cap onto the inlet port.
7.3.2.3 Preserving the Motor or Engine
Preserve the electric motor or gasoline engine according to the instructions of the motor/engine manufacturer.
7.3.2.4 Preventive Maintenance During Storage
Run the compressor once every 6 months as described in the following:
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and insert the intake filter.
2. Open the fill valves or the outlet valve and let the unit run for approximately 10 minutes or until the
pressure gauges indicate the correct values.
3. Stop the compressor.

4. Open condensate drain valves and release compressed air. Close condensate drain valves again.
5. Reapply preservation procedures. (See Paragraph 7.3.2.2)
6. Changing the Lube Oil for Preservation.
7. After prolonged storage, the oil will age in the compressor and engine. It should be drained and
replaced after a period of no more than two years.
8. This two year period is shortened if the compressor does not receive preventive maintenance during
storage.
9. After changing the oil, turn the compressor and the engine by hand or run them for the required
period.
10. Check the lubrication of the compressor when putting the unit into operation every six months or
when turning the compressor. The oil pump is functioning properly when oil can be seen flowing
through the sight glass of the oil pressure regulator and if the oil pressure gauge indicates the prescribed pressure.
7.3.2.5 Reactivating the Compressor Unit.
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and insert the intake filter.
Junior II WT
2. Check the oil level of the compressor.
3. Check the electric motor or gasoline engine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Open the purifier and change the filter cartridge.
5. Run the compressor with open fill valve or outlet valve until warm, approximately 10 minutes.
6. Check the oil pressure on the pressure gauge. If there is any fault, check the lubrication of the compressor.
7. When the unit is warm, close the fill valve or outlet valve and run the unit up to the final pressure.
Indicated when the final pressure safety valve blows.
8. Check the inter-stage safety valves for leakage.
9. Establish cause of any faults in the Troubleshooting Table.
10. Stop the system when running properly, the compressor is then ready for operation.
