4.1 Routine Maintenance
Perform the maintenance procedures in Table 3 at least once per year or more often if needed.
Oil consumption varies by application and during initial operation. Monitor the oil level routinely to
determine a consistent pattern of actual consumption.

System
• Monitor and check the oil level.
A low oil level or loss
of oil in the system will
result in overheating or
mechanical failure.
A high oil level may result
in excessive oil carryover
and oil discharge from
the Compressor Module
when the Compressors
are turned off.
