Lubrication

Thisaircompressorrequiresregularlubricationforproperoperation.

CAUTION: Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like lOW 30, shouldnot

be used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on

critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor

life. Use air compressor oil only.

Note: Use air compressor oil such as SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy

duty). Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil.

Drain and refill the compressor oil after the first 100 hours of operation.

CAUTION: Compressorsare shipped without oil. A small amount of

oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the air compressor.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS AIR COMPRESSOR WITH-

OUT FIRSTADDING OIL TO THE CRANKCASE. Serious damage

can result from even limited operation unlessfilled withoil and broken

in correctly. Follow initial start-upprocedures closely.

WARNING! Drain tank to release air pressure before removingthe oil fill cap

or oil drainplug. Not doingso could resultin serious damage to the com-

pressor as welt as serious injury.

Place unit on a level surface. Remove oil fill plug and slowly add compressor

oil until it is even with the top of the oil fill hole. (It must not be allowed to be

lower than 3/8" from the top at any time.)

When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil

is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full. Crankcase oil cap-

acity is approximately 16 fluid ounces. Replace oil fill plug.

Dram and refill the compressor oil after the first 100 hours of operation.
