3.2 Oil filling: right-angle configuration (KRPX+R)
KRPX+ are delivered with sight glasses and breathers in a separate plastic bag. They must be installed in
the correct position described in the following procedure and sketches.
1. Place the sight glass in the correct position.
2. Remove the input plug of the KRPX+R.
3. Fill the KRPX+ slowly until the oil level reaches the middle of the sight glass. Note that the level on
the sight glass may take some time to stabilize.
4. Re-install the oil input plugs.
5. Install the breather at the place of the red plug.
6. Run the unit until it reaches operating temperature. Stop the unit, check and adjust the level.
WARNING!
An O-ring seal insures the leak tightness of the oil plugs. Carefully tighten the plugs in
order to avoid damaging the seal.
