2. With the compressor standing level, check the
level of the engine oil. Add oil, if necessary, up to
the upper mark on the dipstick. Consult the
Engine Operation Manual for the type and
viscosity grade of the engine oil.
3. Check the level of the compressor oil. See section

cause poor performance and excessive corrosion.
• Record the quantity of distilled water added.
• Keep the terminals and clamps tight, clean, and
lightely covered with petroleum jelly.
• Carry out periodic condition tests. Test intervals
of 1 to 3 months, depending on climate and
operating conditions, are recommended.
If doubtful conditions are noticed or malfunctions
arise, keep in mind that the cause may be in the
electical system, e.g.loose terminals, voltage
regulator maladjusted, poor performance of

Adjustments and servicing procedures
ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTINUOUS PNEUMATIC REGULATING SYSTEM

The working pressure is determined by the tension of


the spring in the regulating valve (RV). This tension
can be increased to raise the pressure and decreased to
lower it by turning the adjusting wheel clockwise and
anti-clockwise respectively.
The solenoid valve (SOV) is only present
at units equipped with a generator
(XA(S) 137 KdG - XA(S) 300 KD7G).
