WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank.
If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a
risk of air tank rupture.
NOTICE:
Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust which can cause stains.
6. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air
compressor can now be stored.
NOTE:
If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 3)
NOTICE:
Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only.
Multi-weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be used
in air compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical compo-
nents, thus reducing performance and compressor life.
NOTE:
Use full synthetic, non-detergent air compressor oil.
NOTE:
Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16.0 fluid ounces
(473 ml).
WARNING:
Drain tank to release air pressure before removing
the oil fill plug or oil drain plug.
Checking
WARNING:
Drain tank to release air pressure before removing
the oil fill plug or oil drain plug.
1. The oil level should be to the middle of the sight glass (K).
2. If needed, remove oil fill plug (I) 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 plug or oil drain plug.
1. Remove the oil fill plug (I).
2. Remove the oil drain plug (J) and drain oil into a suitable con-
tainer.
3. Replace the oil drain plug (J) and tighten securely
4. Slowly add compressor oil until it reaches the middle of the
sight glass (K).
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.
CAUTION:
Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor
failure. Do not overfill.
5. Replace oil fill plug (I) and tighten securely.
