Turn off the screw compressor unit, secure it
against accidental restarts and make sure that the

Slowly open the oil screw plug (-2- Fig. 16) to
relieve the screw compressor of any residual
pressure in the system

Remove the oil screw plug

Open the oil drain (-6- Fig. 16) from the pressure
reservoir

Drain the oil at operating temperature through the
drain hose (-7- Fig. 16)

Close the oil drain

Fill with oil up to the mark "maximum oil level"
(-4- Fig. 16) (approx. 6.2 US-Gal.)

Run the screw compressor for approximately
2 minutes

(-4- Fig. 16) and "minimum oil level" (-5- Fig. 16).

the oil change intervals.
In these cases, the operational life of the oil must be
checked by performing an oil analysis (also see Section
