CHECKING THE OIL
WARNING: Drain the tank to release 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 use in
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 oil until it reaches the middle of the sight
glass.
NOTE: Use Full Synthetic Non-Detergent Air Compressor
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 compressor oil until it reaches the
middle of the sight glass (3).
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16.0 fluid
ounces (473,2 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.
