Initial Start-up.
Each Compressor Unit built is extensively tested at the
factory before shipment. The Unit is shipped with the
original oil in it as used for testing purposes.
Check the Oil level and for any Oil leaks on a daily
basis. This must be done when the Unit is off. Top up
the Oil level on a monthly basis.
Use only DV Systems ‘
DEV-3000
’ Synthetic Oil. Also,
do not mix the ‘DEV-3000’ with any other lubricant.
Subsequent Oil Changes.
Drain the existing oil from the Unit. (Please be advised
that the Unit cannot be drained fully of oil, as some oil
may remain in various components ie Cooler, Tubing,
etc.)
Opening the Oil Fill Port, fill the Reservoir to the mid-
point on the Oil Sight Glass. (This should be approx. 33
litres of Oil.) Do not under or overfill. See drawing
below.
Use only DV Systems ‘
DEV-3000
’ Synthetic Oil,
available in both 1 US gallon (3.8 litre) jugs or 5 US
gallon (5 x 3.8 litre) pails. Any remaining oil may be
used for ‘top-ups’.
Do not attempt to operate the Unit without
first checking whether there is oil in the Oil
Reservoir. Add oil as required. Serious
damage may result from use, however
limited, without oil.
Use of improper oil may negatively affect
Compressor performance or shorten Unit life.
Resulting problems are not covered by the
DV Systems Air Compressor Warranty.
Condensation (water) may form in the Oil
Reservoir with the oil. If this occurs, as the
water will tend to settle on the bottom of the
Reservoir, drain the water from the Reservoir
until you notice oil draining. Top up the
Reservoir with new oil using only the DV
Systems ‘DEV-3000’ oil.

Check Oil level after Unit has been shut off for a
minimum of 10 minutes.
