1. GENERAL
1.1. MAINTENANCE RECORD
We recommend that all maintenance work is recorded in
the service booklet delivered with every compressor unit,
showing the date and details of the work carried out. This
will help to avoid expensive repairwork caused by missed
maintenance work. If it is necessary to claim against the
warranty, it will help to have proof that regular mainten
ance work has been carried out and that the damage has
not been caused by insufficient maintenance. Please refer
to section 23 of our general terms and conditions.
1.2. MAINTENANCE WORK
Always shut down and decom
press the complete system prior to
carrying out any work on the com
pressor.
Always disconnect the system
from mains supply prior to carrying
out any work on compressor sys
tems with electric drive motor.
Never repair pressure lines by sol
dering or welding.
Check the complete system for leakage
from time to time by brushing all fittings
and couplings with soapy water or spray
ing with leak test spray. Repair any leak
age.
Only use original spare parts for mainten
ance or repair work.
For filter cartridge change intervals refer
to chapter D-5 !
The used cartridge must be disposed of
according to local regulations.
Maintenace of drive motor/engine ac
cording to manufacturer's operating in
structions.
1.3. MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
The maintenance schedule is contained in the service
manual delivered with every compressor unit.
2. LUBRICATION SYSTEM
2.1. OIL LEVEL CHECK
Check oil level at oil sight gauge every day prior to putting
compressor into operation.
Oil level should be between minimum and maximum
notches, see Fig. 102 and Fig. 103. Oil level must not de
crease below min. mark but also not exceed max. mark as
this will cause excessive lubrication of compressor and res
ult in valves sooting up.
At each oil change unscrew and remove
the oil sight glass and clean the prism in
side. Check gasket and screw in the oil
sight glass again.
