10.16 Changing the cooling oil
Drain the oil completely from the following components:
■ Oil separator tank
■ Thermostatic valve (Option W1)
Always change the oil filter and oil separator cartridge when changing the oil.
Compressed air helps to expel the oil. This compressed air can be taken either from the compres‐
sor itself or from an external source.
An external source of compressed air is necessary in the following cases:
■ The machine is not operational.
■ The machine is to be restarted after a long period of standstill.
The machine must be isolated from the compressed air network and completely vented be‐
fore undertaking any work on the pressure system.
