Engine oil level

Check the engine oil level via the dipstick on the engine and via the
transparent tube on the engine oil tank.
Add correct oil (see section 5.3.1), if necessary.
The unit has been equipped with an automatic oil level control.
The oil level maintainer valve controls the oil level in the oil sump
of the engine. This valve is seated underneath the oil tank in the
back of the unit.
A small oil tank with three level switches is mounted on the engine
and is functioning as a communicating vessel with the oil sump of
the engine. These level switches (overfill - full - warning -
shutdown) are connected to the CCM and control the oil level
maintainer valve.

When the engine is running, the oil level diminishes. When the oil
reaches the warning level, the CCM generates an Engine Oil Level
warning. This warning is not immediately displayed on the screen
of the User Interface, but is held back for the duration of the Engine
Oil Level Warning Time.
When the warning is generated, the oil level maintainer valve is
opened. Oil flows from the oil tank into the oil sump of the engine
and into the small oil tank. The warning condition will disappear.
The oil level rises until the oil reaches the full level. Then the oil
level maintainer valve is closed.
When the warning does not disappear, because the oil tank is
empty, the warning will be displayed on the screen of the User
Interface.
When the oil reaches the shutdown level, the CCM generates an
Engine Oil Level shutdown and the unit will deactivate.
When the oil level maintainer valve would not close after the oil
level has reached the full level, the oil will start to overfill the
engine.
When the oil reaches the overfill shutdown level, the CCM
generates an Engine Oil Level shutdown and the unit will
deactivate.

Close the outlet valve(s) and stop the unit. Before checking the
compressor oil level, wait approx. 10 minutes to allow oil to return
to the oil sump.
Check the oil level with the dipstick.
Add correct oil (see section 5.3.1), if necessary.
