CHECKING THE OIL

WARNING: Drain the tank to release the air pressure

before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.

CAUTION: Overfilling with oil will cause premature air

compressor failure. Do not overfill.

NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only. Multi-

weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be used in the air

compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus

reducing performance and compressor life.

□ The oil level should be to the middle of the sight

glass (3).

□ If needed, remove the oil fill plug (1) and slowly

add the oil until it reaches the middle of the sight

glass.

NOTE: Use full synthetic, 30W compressor oil or a heavy

duty SAE 30W, non-detergent, SF grade or better oil. Do

not use multi-weight automotive engine oils, as they will

reduce compressor life. Under extreme winter condition

use SAE-10 weight oil.

CHANGING THE OIL

□ Remove the oil fill plug (1).

□ Remove the oil drain plug (2) and drain the oil

into a suitable container.

□ Replace the oil drain plug (2) and tighten

securely.

□ Slowly add the compressor oil until it reaches

the middle of the sight glass (3).

NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid

ounces (473 ml).

NOTE: 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.

□ Replace the oil fill plug (1) and tighten securely.
