Attention
Observe the oil recommendation, see “Lubricants
and Operating Materials”. Add oil of the same oil
type from the same manufacturer.

ROTORCOMP recommends also replacing the
oil lter during an oil change.

• Pour oil into the ller neck on the separator
tank up to the maximum level and screw the
screw plug 1 onto the ller neck by hand
(see Figure 7-2).
• Switch on the screw compressor and allow it to
run for approx. three minutes.
• Oil level check:
Top up the missing oil quantity again up to the
maximum level.
• Check sheet entry (see chapter 7.7 “Mainte-
nance check sheet”).
