COLD AMBIENT OPERATION – See “Installation for
Cold Weather Operation,” page 12.
ADDITION OF OIL BETWEEN CHANGES must be
made when the oil level is in the red range on the gauge
as read while the unit is on. To add oil, follow these
steps:
1.
Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air
pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2.
Disconnect, tag and lockout the power supply to
the starter.
3.
Wipe away all dirt around the oil filler plug.
4.
Remove the oil filler plug and add oil as required
to return the oil level to the center of the green
range on the gauge.
5.
Replace the oil filter plug BEFORE restoring pow-
er to the unit.
DO NOT OVERFILL. The quantity required to raise the
oil level from the red range center of the green range
is shown in FIGURE 5–2. Repeated addition of oil be-
tween oil changes may indicate excessive oil carry–
over and should be investigated.
Air/oil under pressure will cause
severe personal injury or death. Shut
down compressor, relieve system of
all pressure, disconnect, tag and
lockout power supply to the starter
before removing valves, caps, plugs,
fittings, bolts, and filters.
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separa-
tion chamber and all piping and tub-
ing may be at high temperature during
and after operation.

System capacity shown is for the initial fill of the compressor
unit oil cooler module ONLY – remotely mounted oil coolers
will require additional oil to fill the piping between the com-
pressor unit and the cooler.
**
The oil reservoir refill quantity shown is measured at the cent-
erline of the oil level gauge RUN range or approximately 3.5
inches below the centerline of the oil reservoir.
Excessive oil carry–over can damage
equipment. Never fill oil reservoir
above the “FULL” marker.
OIL LEVEL GAUGE (FIGURE 1–5, page 3) indicates
the amount of oil in the oil reservoir. When the unit is
stopped, the oil level will be higher in the RUN range
than when operating on load. When the unit is operat-
ing, the oil level should be near the center of the RUN
range. In normal operation, the oil level will fluctuate
slightly as the compressor loads and unloads. Add oil
only when the oil level gauge indicated in the ADD OIL
range when the compressor is loaded. Drain oil only
when the oil level gauge indicates EXCESS OIL when
the compressor is loaded.
MOISTURE IN THE OIL SYSTEM – In normal humid-
ity and with normal operating temperatures and pres-
sures, the thermal mixing valve controls the oil temper-
ature and prevents moisture contamination of the oil.
Unusual cooling of the oil reservoir, short loaded cycle
in high humidity or malfunctions of the thermal valve
may result in moisture in the oil system which is detri-
mental to compressor lubrication and could cause oil
carryover. If moisture is observed in the oil reservoir,
