Refilling of compressor oil
When you refill the separator receiver tank with compressor oil,
stop the engine, and make sure that the pressure gauge
indicates 0 psi (0 bar) and there is no residual pressure in it, and
then gradually loosen the oil filler cap for refilling oil.
Note residual pressure in the receiver tank could force both
extremely hot compressed air and oil to jet out and you may be
scalded or seriously injured.

Even continuous oil replenishment cannot improve its deteriorated condition. Be sure to change the oil
completely at every scheduled interval.
Do not mix it with other brand oil, or it will cause poor performance and shorten the life of the
compressor oil. (But fresh compressor oil could accept a mixture of small amount of different brands.)
Running the unit with old and deteriorated compressor oil will cause damage to bearings, or serious
accident like ignition in a separator receiver tank. Be sure to change the oil completely at every
scheduled interval.
Follow the designated regulations to dispose of compressor oil.
