Hello everyone,
I recently purchased an almost new, Bauer Oceanus 220V electric compressor. The manufacture date was: 9/2012.
I am having a hard time locating an official service manual for this compressor, which discusses basic service items such as but not limited to:
1) Maintenance.
2) Repairs.
3) Part diagram(s) / Part numbers.
4) Filter operations (when to change, possible aftermarket equivalent filter cartridges, cheaper but good filters, etc...)
5) Where to order factory parts.
Sorry for this question. I am brand new at Scuba Compressors. I haven't gotten anywhere talking to numerous Bauer dealers in my area (CA, U.S.A) - I asked about installing an automated condensate drain, and was promised rock bottom cut-throat pricing to install their yacht package which cost: $10,500 + tax directly from SF Bauer, although they would only install the yacht package on a newly purchased compressor (so yacht package + compressor = $16,500+).
I tried other Bauer dealerships that were 350-400 miles away, and I offered to drive there, but they laughed at me until they soiled themselves, and subsequently hung up the phone (I wish I was joking). I find having children, raising a family, and starting any type of service business from scratch, to be a walk thru central park compared to obtaining information from Bauer about their compressors (knowledge, parts, maintenance, repairs, how-to's, etc...)
Yes, I have the basic owner's manual that talks about the location of the power plug, and how to flip the power switch from OFF to ON... I'm looking for far more specific information, like, "To avoid ever having to bring your compressor to Bauer for service, follow these procedures..." and other topics such as: "This is the procedure of how to install an automated condensate drain, without spending $10,500 on the "yacht package" upgrade..." Or another good topic would be, "How to avoid blowing yourself up and the compressor simultaneously..."
Perhaps I need to drive this compressor from California over to some of the more advanced users on this forum... the TBone1004 user, in particular, is a walking encyclopedia... along with iain/hsm, and others. I would not mind paying for their Bauer service manuals.
Thanks!
