Lubrication
Initial Start-up.
Each Compressor Unit built is extensively tested at the
factory before shipment. The Unit is shipped with the
original oil in it as used for testing purposes.
Check the oil level and for any oil leaks on a daily
basis. This must be done when the Unit is off. Top up
the Oil level on a monthly basis.
Use only DV Systems Premium Compressor Oil. Also,
do not mix the DV Systems oil with any other lubricant.
Oil Changes.
Drain the existing oil from the Unit by removing the Cap
at the Oil Drain as shown below. Running the Unit prior
to draining the oil will ensure that the oil will drain
relatively quickly.
Fill the Oil Reservoir to the center of the Oil Sight Glass
as indicated below. Do not under or overfill.
Do not attempt to operate the Unit without
first checking whether there is oil in the
Pump Crankcase. Add oil as required.
Serious damage may result from use,
however limited, without oil.
Use of improper oil may negatively affect
Compressor performance or shorten Unit life.
Resulting problems are not covered by the
DV Systems Warranty.
Condensation (water) may form in the Pump
if the Compressor has limited use or is
installed in a very humid environment. As the
water will tend to settle on the bottom of the
Pump, drain the water from the Pump until
you notice oil draining. Top up with new oil.
Also, change the oil more often than
indicated on the Maintenance Schedule.
