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 power supply lead 

unplugged from the main socket. 

 

11.7  Checking the Oil Level 

 

 

 

The compressor must be placed on a solid surface with a 

tilt of no more than 15°. 

 

The oil level must be checked every five (5) working hours of 

the compressor. 

  

The oil level must be between the minimum 

and the maximum shown on the oil level 

viewer (left).  

 

If the oil level is above the maximum level:  

 

  Position a receptacle under the drain hose so that the 

oil flows into the exhausted oil receptacle. 

  Open the drain valve and let the oil flow out until the oil 

level returns within the maximum and minimum 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 

maximum and minimum limits. 

  Close the fill plug.
