WARNING!
Before performing any maintenance operation, switch off the
compressor, disconnect from electricity supply and release all air from the tank
(except where a pressurised system is needed). In order to keep the compressor in
good working condition, periodical maintenance is essential.
6.1
Oil Replacement
6.1.1 remove the oil filler cap (fig.1a) and unscrew sight glass (fig.1B), draining the oil
into a container. Drain when the compressor is hot so that oil drains rapidly and
completely. Incline compressor to ensure complete drainage.
replace sight glass and refill. Do not overfill. replace filler cap (fig.1a).
6.1.2 recommended oil for compressors:
synthetic oil suitable for temperatures ranging from -5°c to 45°c, viscosity 5W50.
We do not recommend using mineral oil in these compressors.
