Oil Level Check
Check the oil level at the sight gauge on either side of the compressor block (See Figure 3-4) every day
before putting the compressor into operation. Oil level must be between the minimum and maximum
notches. Oil level must never be below the minimum mark as this will cause severe damage due to lack
of lubrication. Oil level must also not exceed the maximum mark as this will cause excessive lubrica-
tion of the compressor and may result in a carbon buildup on the valves.
