Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing
may be at high temperature during and after operation.
Excessive oil carry-over can damage equipment. Never fill oil reservoir above
the "FULL" marker.
LUBRICANT CHANGE PROCEDURE - Upgrading to a longer life lubricant is essentially a very
worthwhile practice. Following are the primary steps to be completed when upgrading or changing the
type of lubricant.
1. Thoroughly drain system:
- Drain oil from air end and cooler while hot.
- Break low point connections and drain oil from pipe runs.
- Dump oil from the filter and reinstall used filter.
2. Fill the system with a 50 percent charge of the new lubricant:
- Start the machine and stay there to observe.
- Allow the machine to run about five minutes at temperature, or until temperature stabilizes, then
shut down.
3. Thoroughly drain the machine.
4. Change to a new filter and separator.
5. Fill the system with a full charge of the new lubricant, then reinstall drain plug.
6. Machine should then be run normally; however, total run time after the initial changeout should be 50
percent of normal anticipated service life of the new lubricant.
- Drain all lubricant from the system, change the filter and separator, and replace with a full charge of
the new lubricant.
7. Subsequent lubricant changeouts should be at normal intervals. (See "Oil Change Interval" Figure 5-
7, page 54.)
