of oil to be used.
Normally, there is no need to add oil between two
oil changes; if there is, check the source of oil
consumption.
– Attach the air line to the closed air outlet valve
(AOV).
The air line end connected to the
!
outlet valve must be safeguarded
with a safety cable, attached next to
the valve.
No external force may be applied to
the air outlet valves, e.g. by pulling
hoses or by connecting equipment
directly to the valves (e.g. a water
separator, a lubricator,
extensions, etc.).

of fuel. Move the control panel power switch to
OFF again after filling.
