COMPRESSOR OIL INSPECTION
The compressor oil should be checked as follows when
oil is being added to an in service utility work machine.
There is a close affinity between oil and refrigerant.
During normal operation, part of the oil circulates with the
refrigerant in the system. Therefore, when checking the
amount of oil in the system or replacing any system
component, the compressor must be run in advance to
insure return of oil to the compressor.
If the amount of refrigerant in the system has decreased,
charge the system.
