CHANGE COMPRESSOR OIL
WARNING!
Before removing the oil drain plug (oil level sight glass) or the
oil breather cap from your air compressor,
precautions:
always take the following safety
Disconnect electrical power.
Open the petcock to drain air tank of pressure.
Remove the oil level sight gauge. Use a 24 mm wrench. Allow old oil to
drain completely.
Replace the oil drain plug and gasket (we recommend also using a sealing
compound or tape to avoid leakage). Do not over-tighten.
Refill the oil tank with SAE-20 (API CG/CD hea
vy duty), non-detergent
compressor oil or for extreme winter conditions, use SAE-10 light oil.
The oil tank capacity is approximately 350 ml (
1
1.8 fl. oz.). Fill to the red
dot in the oil level sight glass. Do not over-fill.
IMPORTANT!
Replace oil more often if compressor is used near paint spraying
operations or in dusty environments.
CAUTION!
All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors,
filters, &
regulators, etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI
or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
Disconnect any tools from the air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to
another location, or handing it to another person.
When cleaning
air filte
r, or any parts in direct contact with the air production,
do not use any flammable or toxic cleaner or solvent
During the break-in period, nuts and bolts have a tendency to loosen up.
After two weeks, tighten all nuts and bolts including head bolts.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the vents and cooling vanes clear of dust and debris. This will help
prevent possible electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair
facility if it is damaged.
Check the tanks regularly for dents, cracks and other damage. Do not use
if any part of the pressurized system is damaged.
An authorized repair centre should do any repairs, modification, or
maintenance that involve disassembling the compressor.
AFTER 250 HOURS OR SIX (6) MONTHS
(whichever comes first)
