- the parts manual for clarification of usage.
- NOTICE
- Disregard any maintenance pertaining to components not provided on your
- machine.
- General
- In addition to periodic inspections, many of the components in these units require periodic
- servicing to provide maximum output and performance. Servicing may consist of pre-operation
- and post-operation procedures to be performed by the operating or maintenance personnel.
- The primary function of preventive maintenance is to prevent failure, and consequently, the
- need for repair. Preventive maintenance is the easiest and the least expensive type of
- maintenance. Maintaining your unit and keeping it clean at all times will facilitate servicing.
- Scheduled Maintenance
- The maintenance schedule is based on normal operation of the unit. This page can be
- reproduced and used as a checklist by the service personnel. In the event unusual
- environmental operating conditions exist, the schedule should be adjusted accordingly.
- Compressor Oil Level
- Check the compressor fluid level when the machine is not operating. Maintain the fluid level
- between bottom and midway of the sight glass on the separator tank.
