Checking the Oil
1. Check the oil level before operation. Fill the Pump
Crankcase with premium quality SAE 30-weight,
non-detergent, air compressor oil (sold separately).
IMPORTANT: Running the Air Compressor with
the incorrect amount of oil will cause damage
to the equipment and void the warranty. To
prevent damage, do not use with overfilled or
low oil. Slowly fill to full line, wait 2 minutes
and fill back up to full line. Compressor
has small passages that will fill slowly.
2. The oil level should be at the center of the “full” level
on the Oil Sight Glass (33), as shown in Figure D.
Add oil as needed to maintain this level.
Do not let the oil level go below the center
dot on the Sight Glass (LOW) and do not
overfill the oil so that it is above the center
dot on the Sight Glass (OVERFILL).

3. To add oil:
a. Remove the Oil Breather Plug (37).
b. Using a funnel to avoid spills, pour enough
oil into the Pump Crankcase to reach
the “full” level in the Oil Sight Glass.
c. Replace the Oil Breather Plug.
Note: 30W non-detergent Air Compressor Oil
(sold separately) is recommended
for use with this compressor.
4. If uncertain which oil to use for this compressor,
call Harbor Freight Tools customer service
at 1-888-866-5797 for assistance.
5. Change the compressor oil after the first
hour of use to remove any debris.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM BURNS:
Do not add or change the oil while the compressor
is in operation. Allow the compressor to cool before
replacing oil.
