(1) The oil should be changed at these intervals, unless oil analysis results exceed the allowable limits. The frequency of changes will depend on the system cleanliness.
(2) Oil analysis should be done at these intervals as a minimum; the frequency of analysis will depend on system cleanliness.
(3) The oil lter(s) on a minimum must be changed at these intervals or annually if not run continuously. However, the oil lter(s) must be changed if the oil lter differential
exceeds 12 psi or oil analysis requires it.
(4) Inspection includes - Gaterotor Inspection (backlash measurement, shelf clearance and gaterotor oat), End Play Measurement (main rotor & gaterotor), Slide Valve
Inspection (if applicable).
(5) For compressors with no slides (VSM-97, VSM-113, VSM-127)
