See the petroleum lubricant viscosity table below. The table is intended as a general guide
only. Heavy-duty operating conditions require heavier oil viscosity. Refer specific operating
conditions to your dealer for recommendations.
Synthetic oils meeting the specifications are preferred over petroleum-based lubricants.
NOTE: If you use a petroleum-based compressor lubricant and decide to
convert to All Season Select lubricant later, the compressor valves must
be thoroughly decarbonized and the crankcase must be flushed before
conversion.
CAUTION
!
Shorter oil change intervals may be necessary if unit is operated under
adverse conditions.
WARNING
!
Do not under any circumstances open any drain cocks, remove any plugs
or the oil filler plug from the compressor lubricating system without
making sure the air receiver system has been completely relieved of all
air pressure.
CAUTION
!
Some oil mixtures are incompatible with each other and result in the
formation of varnishes, shellacs or lacquers, which may be insoluble.
Such deposits can cause serious trouble. Where possible, try to avoid
mixing oils of the same type but different brands. A brand change is best
made at the time of complete oil change.
