Use a funnel inserted into the oil fill port on the air end (below the
coalescing filter).
Turn the compressor clutch clockwise as oil is poured into the
funnel until the oil is at the top of the sight glass.
Replace the cap on the oil fill port and tighten.
Start the system following the start-up procedure in section 7.3.1.
Allow the system to pressurize.
Turn off the system using the shutdown procedure in section
7.3.2.
Wait 5 minutes then drain the air fully to depressurize the
system.
Check for oil leaks.
Repeat until the oil level sight tube
shows the oil level in the
air/oil separator tank is in the operational range.
