An oil pump should be used to force any oil that may be required into the system. Oil may be added to
the compressor through the oil separator oil return line fitting on the compressor or the compressor
suction service valve. The compressor suction service valve should be “back seated” to shut off
pressure to the gauge port when connecting the oil pump. Air should be purged from the oil pump
discharge line by forcing some oil through the line before tightening the charging connection.
Cutter Gear Reducer. The oil level for the gear reducer should be checked if there is evidence of a
leak. It should be level with the plugged opening in the side of the gear housing. Use Mobile 600W
cylinder oil or equal. Change oil once a year.
Note: Ventless gear reducer used after August 2010
