It is strongly recommended to use Atlas Copco branded
lubrication oils for the compressor. If you want to use
another brands of oil, consult Atlas Copco.
Never mix synthetic with mineral oil.
Remark:
When changing from mineral to synthetic oil (or the
other way around), you will need to do an extra rinse:
After doing the complete change procedure to synthetic
oil, run the unit for a few minutes to allow good and
complete circulation of the synthetic oil. Then drain the
synthetic oil again and fill again with new synthetic oil.
To set correct oil levels, proceed as in normal
instruction.
Never mix oils of different brands or types.
Use only non-toxic oils where there is a risk of inhaling
delivered air.
Before removing the oil filler plug (2), ensure that the
pressure is released by opening an air outlet valve (3).
