is advisable to evacuate to low pressure and charge with dry
nitrogen or oil, particularly on systems known to contain
amounts of water vapor.
• Preventive maintenance inspection is recommended any
time a compressor exhibits a noticeable change in vibration
level, noise level, and/or performance.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND
SERVICE
FrickModelXJSandXJF 95/120RotaryScrewCompressors
aredesignedandmanufacturedtothehighestengineeringand
quality standards to provide optimum performance and con-
tinued service in applications of intended use, with no devia-
tions from original design. A preventive maintenance pro-
gramensuresmaximumcompressorlifeandminimizescostly
unscheduled unit downtime. Immediate shutdown and in-
spection should be made if increased sound or vibration,
increased shaft seal leakage, erratic slide valve operation,
fluctuating oil pressure, loss of compressor efficiency, in-
creased oil consumption, and/or oil contamination are ob-
served. Major inspection should be made, per the schedule,
listed in the Frick Rotary Screw Compressor IOM manual.
