Oil Level Check
f
Never mix oils of different brands or types
4.3.1 Check Engine Oil Level
Consult also the Engine Operation Manual for the oil specifications, viscosity recommendations and oil change intervals.
See schedule.
Check engine oil level according to the instructions in the Engine Operation Manual and top up with oil if necessary.
4.3.2 Check Compressor Oil Level
With the unit standing level, engine stopped, check the level of the compressor oil. The pointer of the oil level gauge (OLG) must
register in the upper extremity of the green range. Add oil via the oil fill plug (FP) if necessary.
f
Before removing oil filler plug, ensure that the pressure is released by opening an air outlet valve.
4.3.3 Engine Oil And Oil Filter Change
Consult also the Engine Operators Manual for oil and oil filter
(1) change
intervals.
(2) oil
types.
4.3.4 Compressor Oil And Oil Filter Change
The quality and the temperature of the oil determine the oil change interval.
The prescribed interval (See section 4.2) is based on an oil temperature of up to 100ºC (212ºF) and normal operating conditions.
When operating in high ambient temperatures, in very dusty or high humidity conditions, it is recommended to change the oil more
frequently.
