WIThOUT OIL!
Follow lubrication instructions before
operating compressor.
Use oil shipped with the compressor.
Do not use regular automotive oil
such as 10W-30.
Additives in regular
motor oil can cause valve deposits and
reduce pump life. For maximum pump
life, drain and replace oil after the first
hour of run time.
The compressor pump takes
approximately 165mL (5.6 oz.) of
oil. The sight glass, located on the
crankcase portion of the pump, is used
to determine proper oil level. Fill the
crankcase with oil until the level is in
the middle of the sight glass. Avoid
overfilling by adding oil gradually and
checking the oil level with the sight
glass several times. Add enough oil to
reach the “max” level on the sight glass.
Proper oil level is illustrated in Figure 3.
