Direction of Rotation
NOTE: Improper rotation will result in reduced compressor
life.
The direction of rotation must be counterclockwise (as
shown by the arrow on the flywheel in Figure 7) while facing
the flywheel side of the pump. The motor nameplate will
show wiring information for counterclockwise rotation.
The proper direction is very important. The direction of
rotation of 3 phase motors can be reversed by interchanging
any two motor-line leads. For single phase motors, refer to
the motor nameplate.
Lubrication
This unit contains no oil.
Before operating compressor, fill
to the center of the sight gauge (see Figure 8).
Using any other type of oil may

pump through the breather cap opening as this may
cause oil to leak and spray out during operation.
NOTE: Some residual oil may still be in the pump from
factory testing leaving a thin coat on the sight gauge;
