Vibration may be produced in a long, unsupported piping structure and be transmitted
through the pipes, resulting in damage to the devices and components connected to the
piping. Therefore, it is necessary to fix such long piping with appropriate supports
(lifting attachments, clamps, and/or uprights) as shown in the illustration below.
When two or more compressors are connected to the same main discharged air piping,
be sure to install a stop valve, which can be closed when the compressor is stopped,
before the main discharged air piping.
Incline the main discharged air piping toward the flow direction of the discharged air
(downward) so that drain water does not stay in the main pipe.
The dryer-integrated type discharges drain from the dryer. Thus it needs drain piping.
The air discharge piping must be equipped with an air receiver tank with specified
or higher capacity to minimize pressure fluctuation.

Never mix different brands of lubricating oil.
CAUTION If accidental contact of compressed air with

food is expected, vegetable oil “ANDEROL
FGC10” may be used. (Exchange oil within
3000 hours.) To use the above oil, please
contact our company.
Maintain the oil level between “H” and “L”
during operation.
Do not operate with the oil level higher than “H”.
Otherwise, oil may flow out into the discharged
air and cause problems. (It is not abnormal that
the oil level exceeds “H” when operation is
stopped oil returns to the oil separator.
If the oil level is much higher than that in the
previous run, shut down the compressor
immediately, drain the oil completely and
perform inspection.

2 Is the oil level normal?

If the oil level is lower than the H level when the
compressor is stopped, supply oil to the H level and
then add oil in the following quantity.
(When the compressor is started, the oil will flow into

the oil cooler, piping, etc. As a result, the oil level in
the tank will be between H and L, which is the proper
level.)

* At a stop of operation, the oil level in the tank varies

since the return oil flow rates from the oil cooler and other
related portions to the tank are different depending on the
running condition before the stop.
Check that the oil level is between H and L after the
compressor is started.
Avoid overfilling as it may deteriorate the oil recovery
performance and increase the oil consumption.
