What should you pay attention to when adding oil to a screw air compressor? Let's talk about it today.
When the oil level in the air compressor is below the lower limit of the oil gauge, we need to add oil. Before adding oil, stop the machine. After the pressure gauge automatically returns to zero, observe the oil level and consider how much oil to add. Most people know it should be between the two lines, but is this correct when the machine is running or when it's off? Many people are confused about this. Actually, the internal training for different manufacturers varies slightly.
Add oil when the machine is off, but not above the high mark. Because lubricating oil will remain in the pipes and the main unit, if too much oil is added, it can easily be carried away by the air, increasing the oil content in the air. After adding oil, check if the oil level is above the lower mark while the machine is running. If the oil level is too low, add a little more.
