SANDEN 5-CYL Drain & Refill

  1. Discharge system. Remove compressor belt and loosen mounting bolts. Rotate compressor in brackets until filler plug is at top. Clean area around filler plug and remove plug slowly. Rotate front hub plate so notch in lobe is 110 degrees from the bottom. This rotates ball end of top piston to align with oil fill port and allows clearance for dipstick. See Fig 1.
  2. Insert compressor dipstick diagonally from right to left until stop on dipstick contacts filler plug surface. Remove dipstick and note oil fill level. Each increment on dipstick represents one ounce of oil. Add oil if necessary to reach 3-4 ounce level.
