5.4.2 CHECKING PRESSURE READING
Perform a visual inspection each time the com-
pressor is started to ensure that the pressure
gauge is operating normally. Allow the com-
pressor to warm up, and verify that the pressure
gauge is within its recommended range. Such in-
spections will minimize the possibility of damage
or an unsafe condition from occurring. Refer to
Section 2: Speci
fi
cations
.
NOTE
If equipped with an LED display, ensure that
the pressure reading is NOT randomly chang-
ing numbers, but is increasing steadily, with
the pressure increase in the air tank.
5.4.3 COMPRESSOR SYSTEM
LUBRICATION
NOTE
When inspecting the oil level, ensure that the
oil
fi
ll sight glass does not contain any cracks
or pits.
The compressor is fully charged at the facto-
ry with IMT Reciprocating Compressor Oil. This
section gives details on checking and changing
the compressor oil.
The compressor oil level sight glass is accessible
from the outside of the canopy.
5.4.3.1 CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Refer to
Figure 5-2
. Check oil level daily (pre-
ferred), or at least every week, and top o
ff
, if nec-
essary. To ensure a proper oil level the compres-
sor unit must be located on a level surface. Oil is
fi
lled via the
fi
ll port [
B
]. If low,
fi
ll the oil level until
the sight glass is 1/4 to 3/4 full.
DO NOT
over
fi
ll.
IMPORTANT
To maintain warranty, IMT
®
compressor oil must
be used. DO NOT substitute compressor oil.
CAUTION
DO NOT mix oil types, weights, or brands.
Mixing oil types can cause equipment damage
or failure.
NOTE
Dispose of discarded oil within the guidelines
of all applicable local, regional, and/or federal
laws.
5.4.3.2 CHANGING THE
COMPRESSOR OIL
WARNING
Before performing maintenance:
Shut down machine, relieve all system pressure
and lock out all power, as per the Safety Section
of this manual. If machine is hot, allow unit to
cool before removing any panel.
NOTE THAT THE SYSTEM CAN BE STARTED
REMOTELY:
Always clearly tag the start-up instrumentation
against accidental system start-ups during
maintenance.
Refer to
Figure 5-2
and the following procedure:
1. Place a container (of at least three [3] quarts
capacity) below the level of the compressor
unit, within reach of the drain hose end [
A
].
2. Disengage the oil drain hose spout from hose
