MAINTENANCE (cont.)
Changing the oil
Recommended lubricating oil:
SAE 5W/40
or an alternative of the same quality.
The compressor should be refilled for the first time after 100 hours of operation. Thereafter
the oil should be drained and refilled after every 500 hours in service.
1.
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of the
socket. Depressurise the tank.
2.
Unscrew the oil drainage screw (16) from the compressor
pump (Fig. 37).
3.
To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled
manner, hold a small metal chute under the opening and
collect the oil in a vessel (Fig. 38). If the oil does not drain
out completely, we recommend tilting the compressor
slightly.
4.
When the oil has drained out, re-fit the oil drainage
screw (16).
5.
Remove the oil sealing plug (15) and pour the new oil
through the oil filler opening until it
reaches the mid point
of the red circle in the oil level window (18) (Fig. 39). The
compressor should take approximately 230ml of oil.
6.
Replace the oil sealing plug (15).
Note.
Dispose of the old oil in an environmentally responsible way.

IMPORTANT!
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and discharge unused air
pressure from the appliance and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch off the
compressor and make sure that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started
up again by any unauthorised person.
IMPORTANT!
Store the compressor only in a dry location which is not accessible to
unauthorised persons. Always store upright, never tilted!
