To add oil, follow these steps:
1.
Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2.
Disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter.
3.
Wipe away all dirt around the oil filler plug. It is located by the oil filter. See Figure 1-2, page 2.
4.
Remove the oil filler plug and add oil as required to return the oil level to the top of the site glass.
5.
Install the oil filler plug, run and check for leaks.
DO NOT OVERFILL . The quantity required to raise the oil level from the bottom of the site glass to the
top of the site glass is shown in Figure 5-1. Repeated addition of oil between oil changes may indicate
excessive oil carry-over and should be investigated.
Use only CLEAN containers and funnels so no dirt enters the reservoir. Provide for clean storage of oils.
Changing the oil will be of little benefit if done in a careless manner.
7-1/2 to 15 HP (5.6 to 11.2 KW)
Refill Capacity For Normal Oil Change
1.0 U.S. Gallon (3.8 Liters)
Bottom of Site Glass to Top of Site Glass
1.0 U. S. Quart (.9 Liter)

DANGER
Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death. Shut down
compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout
power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts
and filters.
DANGER
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing
may be at high temperature during and after operation.
CAUTION
Excessive oil carry-over can damage equipment. Never fill oil reservoir above
the top of the oil site glass.
OIL CHANGE INTERVAL
- Recommended oil change intervals are based on oil temperature. Figure 5-2,
page 26, shows how the change interval is affected by temperature.
When operating conditions are severe (very dusty, high humidity, etc.), it will be necessary to change the
oil more frequently. Operating conditions and the appearance of the drained oil must be surveyed and
