15.3 DRAINING CONDENSATE FROM THE OIL TANK
If the compressor work cycle contemplates long pauses during which the machine cools down, a certain amount of condensate will gather in
the oil tank. This happens, for example, when stopping overnight or at weekends.
The condensate must be drained off every 50 hours or every week. This operation may be performed only when the machine is cold, that is
when it has been switched off for at least 8 hours.
BEFORE DRAINING THE CONDENSATE IT IS OBLIGATORY TO STOP THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT IT FROM THE
POWER MAINS.
Proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine with pushbutton Ref. 1 Fig. 18: in this way the machine stops after idle time running.
- Turn off the disconnect switch, Ref. 2 Fig.

- Wait for the machine to cool down.
- Open the panels Ref. 3 Fig. 18 with the key provided.
- SLOWLY turn on the tap Ref. 4 Fig. 18 and let the condensate flow out.
- When the first traces of oil appear, turn off the tap.
CONDENSATE MUST BE DISPOSED OF IN CONFORMITY WITH THE LOCAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
- Check the oil level on the indicator Ref. 5 Fig. 18.
- If the oil level is under the minimum, top up as described at point 15.4.
15.4 CHECK OIL LEVEL AND TOP UP
- Switch off the machine with push button Ref. 1 Fig. 18: in this way the machine stops after idle time running.
- Turn off the disconnect switch, Ref. 2 Fig.
- Wait a few minutes for the foam in the oil collector to abate, and check wessel pressure.
- Check the oil level on the indicator Ref. 5 Fig. 18
- If the oil level is under the minimum, top up.
USE OIL OF THE SAME TYPE AS THAT ALREADY IN THE MACHINE; DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF OIL.
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION ON THE MACHINE, ENSURE THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY HAS
BEEN DISCONNECTED.
- Open the front panel Ref. 3 Fig. 18 with the special key.
- Slowly open the oil plug Ref. 6 Fig. 18.
- Top up to maximum level Ref. 5 Fig. 18, with oil of the same type in the compressor.
