Air End
Initial Start-up.
Each Compressor Unit built is extensively tested at
the factory before shipment. The Unit is shipped with
the original oil in it as used for testing purposes.
Check the Oil level and for any Oil leaks on a daily
basis. This must be done when the Unit is off. Top up
the Oil level on a monthly basis.
Use only DV Systems ‘
DEV-3000
’ Synthetic Oil.
Subsequent Oil Changes.
Drain the existing oil from the Unit. (Please be
advised that the Unit cannot be drained fully of oil, as
some oil may remain in various components ie
Cooler, Tubing, etc.)
Fill the Oil Reservoir to the top of the Oil Fill Port as
shown below. Do not under or overfill. See drawing
below.
Use only DV Systems ‘
DEV-3000
’ Synthetic Oil,
available in both 1 US gallon (3.8 litre) jugs or 5 US
gallon (5 x 3.8 litre) pails. Any remaining oil may be
used for ‘top-ups’.‘
The ‘
MK-A5
’ Maintenance Kit includes:
(1) US Gallon (3.8 litre) Oil (‘DEV-3000’)
(1) Oil Filter (’DSC-603’)
(1) Air/Oil Separator Filter (’DSC-002832’)
(2) Air Filters (’DSC-001569’)
This Kit should be used in the regular servicing of
your Unit.
Do not attempt to operate the Unit without
first checking whether there is oil in the Air
End Reservoir. Add oil as required. Serious
damage may result from use, however
limited, without oil.
Use of improper oil may negatively affect
Compressor performance or shorten Unit life.
Resulting problems are not covered by the
DV Systems Inc. Air Compressor Warranty.
Condensation (water) may form in the Air End
if the compressor work cycle experiences
long pauses. If this occurs, the condensate
MUST be drained EVERY 50HRS OR
WEEKLY:
-
Wait for compressor to cool for approx.
2HRS.
-
Remove service panel
-
Slowly open the oil drain valve on the air
end & drain condensate
-
When the first traces of oil appear, close
the cap/valve
-
Top up the Air End with new oil using only
DV Systems ‘DEV-3000’ oil.
