INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Lubrication
Before operating compressor, ensure oil is filled
to the center of the sight gauge (see figure 4)
Using any other type of oil may shorten pump life
and damage valves.
Recommended Oil (2 Options)
FSC-1000A ISO-100 Premium Reciprocating
Compressor Lubricant
12 quart case part number FSC-1000A-12
1 quart part number FSC-1000A-1
For generic option use 10W30
Oil Capacity
Approximately 8.5 oz.
Remove cap from oil fill opening. Install breather (found in parts
bag with this manual). Check oil level. See specification label on
compressor pump for the proper oil capacity and oil type.
All lubricated compressor pumps discharge some condensed water
and oil with the compressed air. Install appropriate water/oil removal
equipment and controls as necessary for the intended application.
Do not sure regular automotive oil. Additives in regular motor oil can
cause valve deposits and reduce pump life. For maximum pump life,
drain and replace oil after 50 hours of use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
All lubricated compressor pumps discharge some condensed water
and oil with the compressed air. Install appropriate water/oil removal
equipment and controls as necessary for the
intended application.
Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal equipment may
result in damage to machinery or workpiece.
