Draining Air Tank (Fig. 1)
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from
outlet of drain. Use eye protection [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)]
when draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
WARNING:
Risk from noise. Use ear protection [ANSI S12.6
(S3.19)] as air flow noise is loud when draining.
NOTE:
All compressed air systems generate condensate that
accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers,
dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances
which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with
local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF position.
2. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch
discharge.
3. Grasp black lever on drain valve.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting.
Drain air tank daily. Water will con-
dense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the
air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
CAUTION:
Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may
contain oil and rust, which can cause stains.
4. Slowly rotate lever to gradually bleed air from air tank.
5. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 PSI, rotate valve to the
fully open position.
6. Close drain valve when finished.
Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 1)
CHECKING OIL
WARNING
: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF Position.
2. Place unit on a flat level surface.
3. Remove dipstick (K) and wipe clean.
4. Insert and remove dipstick without

threading dipstick into crankcase as
shown in figure.
5.
Check the oil level on dipstick.
If oil level is at or below “Add”,
oil needs to be added. Add D

WALT
synthetic oil to the proper maximum level as shown in figure.
NOTE:
When filling 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.
NOTE: The low oil shutdown sensors are very sensitive. You
must fill the engine and pump to the full mark on the dipstick
to inactivate this safety device.
CAUTION
: Risk of property damage. Overfilling with oil will cause
premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
6. Replace dipstick and tighten securely.
CHANGING OIL
NOTE:
Pump oil contains substances that are regulated and must
be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws and
regulations.
