Lubrication
Each Compressor Unit built is extensively tested at the
factory before shipment. The Unit is shipped with the
original oil in it as was used for testing purposes.
Check the oil level and for any oil leaks on a daily
basis. This must be done when the Unit is off. Top up
the Oil level on a monthly basis.
Use only DV Systems Premium Compressor Oil. Also,
do not mix the DV Systems oil with any other lubricant.
Oil Changes.
Drain the existing oil from the Unit. Running the Unit
prior to draining the oil will ensure that the oil will drain
relatively quickly.
Fill the Oil Reservoir to the center of the Oil Sight
Glass. Do not under or overfill. See drawing below.
Do not attempt to operate the Unit without
first checking whether there is oil in the
Pump Crankcase. Add oil as required.
Serious damage may result from use,
however limited, without oil.
Use of improper oil may negatively affect
Compressor performance or shorten Unit life.
Resulting problems are not covered by the
DV Systems Warranty.
With limited Compressor use or installing in a
very humid environment, condensation
(water) may form in the Crankcase with the
oil. If this occurs, change the oil more often
than indicated on the Maintenance Schedule.
