  3. Check the exhaust temperature of the host, if it reaches or approaches 98℃, the oil cooler must be cleaned;
  4. Check the pressure difference of the separator. if it reaches more than 0.6bar (limit 1bar) or the pressure difference starts to decline, stop the machine and replace the separation core;
  5. Check the discharge of condensed water. If the drainage volume is too small or no condensed water is discharged, the water separator must be shut down to clean;
  6. Check whether the unit has abnormal noise and leakage.

2. Quarterly maintenance (Level 1 maintenance)
