c. The oil level viewed on the sight gauge will vary when the
compressor is operating. Fill the sump to the upper limit of the
gauge, then run the compressor. Stop the unit and add oil as
necessary to maintain the oil level near the center of the sight
gauge.
d. The oil pressure is controlled by the relief valve located on the
discharge of the oil pump. The adjusting cap is held in position with
a lock nut. The correct operating pressure is 15 PSIG (minimum
10 PSIG - maximum 20 PSIG). Adjustments, if necessary, should
be made while the unit is at normal operating temperature.
Rotating the adjusting cap clockwise increases the oil pressure
and counterclockwise decreases the oil pressure.
