Service and Maintenance:
Prior to performing service and maintenance to the compressor, always disconnect all
accessories and attachments from the unit and shut off gasoline engine. When replacing
parts, only use Genuine BOSTITCH replacement parts.
Checking the pump Oil Level :
1. Verify that the compressor is turned off and on a level surface.
2. Observe the oil level through the clear sight glass that is located at the base
of the crankcase.
3. If oil is visible to the middle of the sight glass, then the oil level is acceptable.
Changing the Oil: Oil should be changed every 3 months or 300 hours of operation.

drain plug is beneficial.
