Preventative Maintenance Schedule
Noted on the following pages are general Maintenance guidelines based on average working conditions. Should
the Unit be worked under extreme conditions, please contact your DV Systems Distributor for further input. As
well, all maintenance/service work must be carried out by a qualified Technician.
The typical operating temperature of the Unit, this dependant on ambient temperatures, is between 70ºC and
85ºC (158ºF and 185ºF).
If the operating temperature of the Unit is too low (less than 70°C (158°F)):
condensation will build up in the system and mix with the oil, causing internal component problems in the
Unit
Change the ambient conditions to increase the operating temperature.
If the operating temperature of the Unit is too high (above 85°C (185°F)):
the oil will oxidize and lose it’s properties, this causing internal damage to components as well
to combat this, the oil must be changed more often than noted below.
When servicing the Air Compressor, shut off all
power to the Unit, and drain it of air pressure.
It is the responsibility of the compressor owner
to ensure that a regular Maintenance Schedule
is followed.
Note: For Compressor Units used in an environment where the ambient temperature is above
32°C (90°F), the components marked with a ‘ # ’ (on the chart on the following page) must
be changed more frequently, and not as noted below.
