CHAPTER 3: OCEANUS COMPRESSOR BLOCK
3.1 Lubrication
3.1.1 Oil Level Check
Check the oil level prior to putting compressor into operation each day
1. Remove dipstick and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
2. Reinsert the dipstick ensuring that it is completely seated.
3. Withdraw the dipstick again and note the oil level.
4. The level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. See Figure 3-1
3.1.2 Type of Oil
Due to the thermal load on the compressor, only high quality oil should be used. It is recommended that
you restrict oil to Bauer P/N OIL-0024 which has a proven record of success and is specified for this
compressor.
3.1.3 Oil Change Schedule
The oil must be changed every 2,000 operating hours or every two years whichever is reached first.
^ CAUTION
The oil level must not go down below the minimum mark but also must not exceed the maximum mark as
this will cause excessive lubrication of the compressor and result in the valves carbonizing.
