MCH36 Open Diesel (Kubota)
Use only the specified Nuvair lubricants in this system. The use of incompatible lubricants
presents a risk of fire and/or explosion, and may result in system damage. This can lead to
severe personal injury and death.
Do not carry out these tasks if the compressor has only just shut down; wait for the
compressor to cool. Pressure must be drained before opening LP Fill Plug.
Any oil spilt during the oil/filter change could cause personnel to slip; wear protective
garments and anti-slip footwear and remove traces of oil immediately.
Both oil and filter are classified as special wastes and must therefore be disposed of in
compliance with the anti-pollution laws in force.
All maintenance work must be carried out with the compressor OFF and the key removed
from the ignition.
The compressor must be placed on a solid surface with a tilt of no more than 6°.
11.7 Checking the Oil Level
The oil level must be checked every 5 working
hours of the compressor.
The oil level must be between the minimum and
the maximum shown on the oil level indicator.
(See close-up picture bottom of next page)
If the oil level is above the maximum level:
•
Position a recipient under the drain hose so
that the oil flows into the exhausted oil
recipient.
•
Open the drain valve and let the oil flow out
until the oil level returns within the max. and
min. limits
•
Close the drain valve.
If the oil level is below the minimum level:
•
Open the top fill plug
•
Top off with oil until the level returns within the max. and min. limits
•
Close the fill plug.
After running the compressor, the lubricant will be very hot. Take care when removing the
drain plug and draining the lubricant to avoid burns.
