Step Action
If more than 3 months have passed between assembly and installation, be sure to
lubricate the compressor before starting up:
• Remove the front panel.
• Unscrew the fixing bolts in the top and remove the panel.
• Unscrew the cover of the air filter (AF) and remove the filter element.
• Open valve (7) and drain approximately 0.2 l (0.05 US gal / 0.04 Imp gal) of oil into a
clean receptacle. Carefully pour this oil through the filter housing into the compressor
element.
• Fit the air filter and screw on the filter cover.
• Refit the top and front panels.
Check the oil level.
The oil level sight-glass (SG) must be above the minimum level. If the oil level is below the
minimum level, top up to the middle. Do not overfill. Always use the same type of oil.
