Lubricants
For proper function and long service life, use of the correct lubricant is essential.
Oil identification
Fill the motor to the proper level before operating.
Use engine oil API Service Classified “SC” in the following weights:
Above 32° F: SAE 30W
•
Below 32° F: SAE 10W
•
If the air line carries an excessive amount of water and a water trap cannot be installed, use a good
grade of motor oil that will emulsify with water to prevent damage to vital parts of the motor.
Oil quantity
Approximately 1 quart of oil is required to fill the motor case to the proper oil level. Approximately
1 quart of oil is required to fill the gear case to the proper oil level. The oil must flow at all times to
properly lubricate the motor components, gears and bearings.
To check the MA3 for proper oil level, open the oil level pet cock. If oil does not flow from the pet
cock, add the proper oil until oil begins to flow. Securely tighten the oil level pet cock.
Remove the oil drain plug in the motor case occasionally and drain off accumulated water before
adding new oil.
Excessive use of oil is usually due to:
Worn pistons
•
Worn piston rings
•
Worn distributing valve and bushing
•
Damaged oil seals
•
Clogged breather cap
•
