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.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling with oil will cause
premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
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.
1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF Position.

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 EMGLO
Synthetic Blue oil to the proper maxi-
mum level as shown in figure.
note:
Do not use multi-weight automotive oil.
6. Replace dipstick/oil fill plug and tighten securely.

note: Pump oil contains substances that are regulated and must
be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws and
regulations.
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.
. Allow the unit to cool.
3. Disconnect spark plug wire.
4. Drain air tank.
5. Locate a suitable container under pump drain plug (J).
6. Remove the dipstick/oil fill plug (K) from crankcase.
7. Remove the oil drain plug (L).
8. Allow ample time for all oil to drain out. (Tilting the compressor
towards the drain plug will assist in draining.)
9. Install the oil drain plug.
10. Fill pump with EMGLO Synthetic Blue compressor oil. The oil
level should be at “Add” on the dipstick.
11. Replace dipstick/oil fill plug and tighten securely.
1. Reconnect spark plug wire.
Checking Belt tension (Fig. 1)
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.
. Allow the unit to cool.
3. Disconnect spark plug wire.
4. Drain air tank.
5. Remove six belt guard mounting screws (two on the pump head
and four on the deck)
6. Remove outer belt cover.
7. Measure belt tension. Proper tension is achieved when a three
(3) pound weight or equivalent finger pressure applied midway
between the motor pulley and compressor flywheel causes a
1/4" (6.35 mm) deflection of the belt. If adjustment is needed see
Adjusting belt tension under
Maintenance
