Many people say that the routine maintenance of an air compressor is very similar to that of a car, but there are still some differences between the two in actual operation. For example, the car only needs to drain and add the lubricant to replace the lubricant, while the air compressor replaces the lubricant. If there are certain requirements and operating steps, today I will show you how to change the lubricating oil correctly.
1. Turn on and run to normal temperature for one hour;
2. Shut down;
3. Drain the oil in the oil tank, cooler and all filters;
4. Add the newly replaced oil to the minimum oil volume required for operation (e.g. 1/2 volume);
5. Turn on and run to normal operating temperature for one hour. During this hour, open and close the exhaust valve every 15 minutes to allow the machine to cycle at the highest and lowest pressure valve settings;
6. Shut down;
7. Drain the oil in the cooler, oil tank and all filters;
8. Add the newly replaced oil to 1/2 volume;
9. Turn on and run to normal operating temperature for one hour. During this hour, open and close the exhaust valve every 15 minutes to allow the machine to cycle at the highest and lowest pressure valve settings;
10. Shut down;
11. Drain the oil from the entire machine, including the cooler, oil tank and filter. If necessary, remove the pipe to remove the oil in the lower part. Clean the filter, replace the separator and all non-permanent oil filters. Check that the inlet filter is covered by contaminated oil, and replace it as appropriate;
12. Add the recommended oil to be replaced to the minimum amount of oil required for operation;
13. Turn on and run to normal temperature for 15 minutes;
14. Shut down and drain the oil in the machine. Open the filter and filter screen, but do not need to replace;
15. Add the oil you recommend to the machine to the normal oil level;
16. Restart the machine and pay attention to the oil level. When the machine is operating, there will be about 1/2 oil in the observation window;
17. The foam can be dispersed to the oil level within 2 minutes after shutting down and no oil will flow out of the drain valve.
