Cold Weather Operation
Premium quality 30-weight,
non-detergent air compressor oil (not
provided) is recommended for use
with this compressor. Start
compressor in heated area if outdoor
temperatures drop below 32° F. If this
is not practical, drain out the old pump
oil and use SAE 10W Non-detergent Air
Compressor Oil in the pump crankcase
instead whenever the compressor’s
temperature will fall below 40°F. Do
not use multi-viscosity oil (such as
10W-30), they leave carbon deposits
on pump components and lead to
accelerated failure. Heavy operation
may require heavier viscosity oil.
