Changing
1.
Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2.
Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
drain oil into a suitable container.
3.
Replace the oil drain plug (B) and
tighten securely
4.
Sowly add compressor oil until
the oil level is in the middle of the
sightglass (C).
NOTE:
When fill-
ing the crankcase, the oil flows
very slowly into the pump. If the
oil is added too quickly, it will
overflow and appear to be full.
Overfilling with oil
will cause prema-
ture compressor failure. Do not
overfill.
5.
Replace oil fill plug (A) and tight-
en securely.
Oil
NOTE:
Use a air compressor oil such
as SAE-30 (API CG/CD heavy duty
motor oil). Under extreme winter con-
ditions use SAE-20 weight oil.
NOTE:
Crankcase oil capacity is approxi-
mately 60 fluid ounces (1.8 L).
Checking
1.
The oil level should be to the mid-
dle of the sight glass (C).
2.
If needed remove oil fill plug (A)
and slowly add oil until it reaches
the middle of the sight glass.
To Drain Tank
NOTE:
Operation of the air compres-
sor will cause condensation to build
up in the air tank. Always drain tank
on a washable surface or in a suit-
able container to prevent damaging
or staining surfaces.
1.
Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF".
2.
Close the globe valve.
3.
Remove the air tool or
accessory.
4.
Open the globe valve and allow
the air to slowly bleed from the
air tank until tank pressure is
approximately 20 psi.
5.
Close the globe valve.
6.
Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve (counter-
clockwise) on bottom of tank.
Water will con-
dense in the air
tank. If not drained, water will cor-
rode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
7.
After the water has been
drained, close the drain valve
(clockwise). The air compressor
can now be stored.
NOTE
: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.
