7.2 Oil level
An important factor for the operating safety of the
system is the oil level in the oil reservoir.
The oil level check must be carried out before
commissioning the screw compressor module and
then repeated every 100 operating hours.
Warning:
Rotating, pressurized and hot components,
DANGER OF INJURY!
7.2.1 Oil level check via oil filler opening
Warning:
– The unit parts, oil and oil filler plug may be over
80°C/176°F; danger of burns!
Wear personal safety equipment!
– With hot oil, the oil level can be higher than with
cold oil shortly after discharging.
As a result, oil may escape when the oil filler
plug is opened at the maximum oil level. In this
case, close the oil filler plug again immediately
and carefully remove the oil which has
escaped.
• Switch off the system and secure it against
unauthorized switch-on.
• Wait for one minute at standstill.
• Check the oil level.
• If necessary, top up oil of the same oil type and
the same brand up to the maximum level.
7.3 Oil change
Warning:

DANGER OF INJURY
The oil change may only be carried out at a stand-
still and with the screw compressor air end system
completely discharged.
