with incorrect cross-section),
the protective motor switch is
tripped.
Power failure / undervoltage in

not be operated until much later.
1. Replace oil with corrosion inhibitor oil
(viscosity SAE 30). See Chap. 2.6.7.
2. Allow the compressor to warm up, switch
it off, disconnect the power supply.
3. Drain the condensate, depressurise the
compressor.
4. Prior to returning to operation, replace
