MAINTENANCE
CRANKCASE LUBRICATION
Non-detergent motor oils are recommended. However, detergent oils can be used providing the gas being
handled does not react with the detergent in the oil. If using a detergent oil, be sure there is not a compatibility
problem. The following gasses are known to react with detergents in oil:
Ammonia - Monoethylamine - Monomethylamine - Dimethylamine - Trimethylamine
The oil used, detergent or non-detergent, should be of high quality such as API grade SF, SG, SH or
similar. API grade SA, SB, SC or similar oils should never be used. Recycled oils should never be
used.
The oil in the crankcase should be changed every 1,000 hours or 180 days, whichever is shorter. Under severe
dusty or sandy operating conditions, the oil should be changed every 500 hours or every 90 days. NOTE: When
equipped with a spin-on oil filter, intervals between oil changes may double (not to exceed 180 days).

To change the oil, drain the crankcase then clean the oil pickup screen in a suitable solvent. When reinstalling
the pickup screen, inspect the metal gasket and the O-ring for damage. Replace if necessary. If supplied, the
external oil filter should also be replaced. Refill the crankcase via the dipstick opening.
SETTING THE OIL PRESSURE
: The oil
pressure should be about 25 psig.
1.
Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting screw inward
(clockwise) to increase the pressure
setting or outward (counterclockwise)
to decrease the pressure setting.
3. Retighten the locknut.
ROTATION
The compressor rotation direction is indicated by the upper
arrow (12 o'clock position) located on the face of the oil pump
cover.
To reverse the rotation of the compressor, remove the
capscrews in the oil pump cover and rotate the cover 180
degrees. In this position, the upper arrow on the oil pump cover
will indicate rotation in the opposite direction.
NOTE: The oil
pump pressure gauge must also be removed and reinstalled in
the upper gauge port.
