Venting The Compressor System; Cleaning Work; Checking Of Oil Level - MIL'S AM 3 Notice D'utilisation

5.4. Venting the compressor system
Observe the following when the unit has to be vented.
There is a danger of being burned when unit is at operating temperature.
The oil refill plug can reach temperatures
of up to 110°C! Therefore, only handle oil refill plugs with safety gloves!
When removing the oil refill plug, residual pressure may cause hot oil to squirt out. Therefore,
always wear safety glasses!
Venting the installation
Observe the following safety instructions to avoid damage to health or danger of life:
Step Activity
1 Switch off unit and prevent it from being restarted by accident.
2 Unscrew cap of oil refill port (oil refill plug) by hand.
3 Proceed slowly for the first five turns of the cap. Unscrew in an anticlockwise direction until you can
hear it "snap"; the oil refill plug has its own safety relief hole on the side, which allows residual
pressure to escape gradually.
4 Wait until all of the pressure of the unit has been released via the safety relief hole. The unit is now
pressureless.
5.5. Cleaning work
For general cleaning work, vacuum the unit and/or wipe it with a damp cloth. Regularly check the intake
passage and where necessary remove any leaves, dust, dirt or similar to ensure a perfect air supply.
Never direct compressed air at a living being.
Misuse of the compressed air unit can cause tissue damage or fatal injury.
