5.1.10 Oil fill procedure
Initial oil fill procedure
Check whether your compressor comes with oil filled. This
can be checked through the oil sight glass on the air oil
separator. If not, follow the oil filling procedure given
below.
Oil level check
The oil level should be half of the oil sight glass after
fumes settle down following shutdown.
Ensure that the oil level sight glass and eye vision are
parallel while checking the oil level to avoid parallax
error.
