Maintenance (continued)
1
Oil (Figure 6)
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.
NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or a heavy
duty SAE 30W, non-detergent, SF grade
or better oil. DO NOT use multi-weight
automotive engine oils, they will reduce
compressor life. Under extreme winter
condition use SAE-10 weight oil.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is
approximately 29 fluid ounces (857,6 ml).
Checking
1.
The oil level should be to the middle of
the sight glass (N).
2.
If needed remove oil fill plug (L) and
slowly add oil until it reaches the middle
of the sight glass.
Changing
WARNING: Drain tank to release
air pressure before removing the
oil fill cap or oil drain plug.

Air Filter
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk
of burn. Compressor heads are
exposed when filter cover is
removed. Allow compressor to
cool prior to servicing.
CAUTION: Keep the air filter
clean at all times. Do not operate
the air compressor with the air
filter removed.
CAUTION: Overfilling with
oil will cause premature air
compressor failure. Do not
overfill.
1.
Remove the oil fill plug (L).
2.
Remove the oil drain plug (M) and drain
oil into a suitable container.
3.
Replace the oil drain plug (M) and
tighten securely.
4.
Slowly add compressor oil until it
reaches the middle of the sight glass
(N).
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.
5.
Replace oil fill plug (L) and tighten
securely.

A dirty air filter will not allow the air
compressor to operate at full capacity. Keep
the air filter clean at all times.
1.
Remove the air filter cover.
2.
Remove the air filter from filter cover.
4.
Place new air filter into filter cover.
5.
Replace air filter cover to pump.
