Adding and changing oil
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Unsuitable oil or an insufficient or excessive amount of oil in the compressor
could damage it.
− Before each use, check the oil level and, if applicable, add oil or drain off
excess oil.
− Use multigrade oils SAE 10W40/15W40.
− Perform a complete oil change no later than after 100 operating hours or 6
months.
NOTICE!
Risk of pollution!
Used oil that ends up in the environment or the sewer system will pollute the
environment.
− Only dispose of used oil as hazardous waste in accordance with valid local
guidelines.
Use synthetic SAE 10W40 oil for operation at an ambient temperature
of +5°C to +40°C. Synthetic oil has the advantage that its character-
istics remain unchanged at different temperatures, e.g. in the sum-
mer or winter.
Checking the oil level
− Always check the oil level before you use the compressor.
− Check the oil level at the viewing window of the oil drain plug
13
: The optimal
oil level is between the “max.” mark and the “min.” mark (see Fig. H).
Draining the oil
• This compressor is shipped with the synthetic oil SAE 10W40. Com-
pletely replace the oil after the first 100 hours of operation.
• To open the oil drain plug, you will need an AF 24 open-ended
spanner (not included in the package contents).
1. Make sure that the On/Off switch
3
is set to the “OFF 0” position (see Fig.G).
2. Before draining the oil, pull the mains plug out of the socket to disconnect the
compressor from the power supply.
