Maintenance - Oil change
TI008G0001
Foreword
As mentioned before, the oil performs
many essential functions for compres-
sor operation and, consequently, it is
important to check its quantity and
conditions at the suggested times.
Please refer to the specific tables to choose the
most suitable oil types for the different operating
conditions.
First oil change
If not differently stated in the nameplate, the com-
pressor is supplied with Rotoroil 8000 F2 oil.
The first oil change and the first oil filter change
should take place within 5000 hours or one year.
It should be noted that exhausted oil is dangerous
for operation of the compressor and, therefore, it
should be replaced when the change interval has
expired.
The oil should be replaced with the machine not
operating and with warm oil.
To drain the oil, wait until the
compressor is no more pressu-
rized, checking that the pressure
gauge on the separator or on
the receiver indicates there is no
more internal pressure.
Slowly unscrew the filling hole plug (Photo 1) and check if there is any foam; wait for some minutes
until the oil demulsifies.
Open the drain plug (Photo 2) and drain the oil into a suitable container.
Close the drain plug.
Fill the oil chamber with new oil until reaching the MAX level (fig. 4).
Replace the plug gasket and tighten it well.
Start the compressor and let it operate for few minutes, then stop it and verify the correct level by
means of the specific indicating sticker (fig. 4). Top up if necessary.
