22.0 REPLACING OIL
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE JOBS IT IS MANDATORY TO STOP THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT IT
FROM THE POWER MAINS AND FROM THE COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK.
Oil replacing is an important operation for the compressor:
if the lubrication of the bearings is not efficient, The life expectancy of the compressor will be significantly reducedt.
The oil must be changed when the machine is still warm, that is immediately after stopping it.
The suggestions listed below should be scrupulously followed.
After draining the old oil out of the machine Ref. 2 Fig. 26.
- Completely fill the oil collector Ref. 1 Fig. 26.
- Remove the pipe Ref. 3 Fig. 26
- Pour a little oil into the suction unit.
- Reassemble the pipe Ref. 3 Fig. 26
- Start the compressor.
- After about 1 minute switch off the machine by pressing “STOP” (Ref. 4 Fig. 26) after idle time running the machine will switch off.

NOTE ON LUBRICANTS
When delivered the machine is filled with oil.
In normal conditions of use, these lubricants have proved to be able to withstand use for as many as 4.000 hours. However, due to the
external polluting agents that get into the compressor with the air that it takes in, it is advisable to change the oil at more frequent intervals,
as indicated on the routine maintenance table. If the compressor is used at high temperatures (continuous operation with oil temperature
above 90 °C – 194 °F) or in particularly severe conditions, we advise shorter oil replacement interval.
