The advantage of changing the oil for the compressor as well as changing the oil for the engine of motorcycles and cars, this helps the engine to operate stably and with better performance.

Compressor gas discharge

Before changing the oil for the compressor, the first thing to do is to suck gas for the compressor.

Note: Do not exhaust all the gas in the compressor, but leave a little to avoid outside air entering. You can check through the pressure gauge, the needle is just above 0 1.

• Turn on the compressor: Select Main mode in the ice machine control screen, select the compressor and turn on, when the pressure gauge needle reaches the required (Above 0 level), turn off the compressor.
• Lock the compressor push valve to stop the gas from overflowing to the compressor.
