Changing the oil
Read all the information provided in Section 6.1 before proceeding with any maintenance jobs.
Change the oil following the initial 500 hours of use and then every 2500 hours and in event once
a year.
In case of not frequently use (few hours of duty per day) you should change the oil every 6
months.
Unscrew the cap 1 situated at the base of the screw unit.
Screw an attachment with tail piece 2 (supplied together with the compressor).
Open tap 3.
Once emptied, shut-off tap 3 and remove the attachment with tail piece.
Fill-up with oil to the half of the union 4, then screw cap 1 back in place and close-up the
compressor
again.
Once the oil and oil filter have been changed leave the compressor to run for roughly 5 minutes
then turn it off and check the oil level again. Add oil if necessary.
Check the oil level once a month.
When you open the knurled fitting 2, oil starts to drain from the screw unit,
therefore you need to have a pipe and container ready to collect the oil
Never mix different types of oil, therefore always ensure that the circuit is
completely empty before filling-up with oil. Each time the oil is changed the
filter is also to be replaced.
