Six months or 250 operating
hours:
- Change compressor oil (SAE
20 or 30)
Replace oil more frequently
when used in dusty operating
environments.
CHANGING THE OIL
1) Place oil drain pan below the
oil drain plug.
2) Remove oil cap to allow the
air to enter the crankcase.
3) Remove oil drain plug.
4) Allow oil to drain completely.
5) Clean and replace oil drain
plug.
6) Refill crankcase with SAE 20
or SAE 30 weight non-detergent
oil to the red dot on the oil level
sight glass. Be careful not to
overfill the tank.
Do not use multi-grade, ATF,
hydraulic fluid, two-cycle oil or
any other improper oils because
it will void the warranty. Using
automotive engine oils may
cause carbon deposits on
valves and can shorten valve
life.
Changing Filter
Never run the compressor
without an intake air filter or with
a clogged intake air filter. Use
compressed air to blow the filter
clean. If the filter
cannot be blown clean, the filter
should be replaced.
Do not allow intercooler fins to
become clogged with dirt, lint,
dust, paint, etc. If surrounding
air is dirty and is causing the
intercooler to clog, move the
compressor to a cleaner area
or use duct work to bring
clean air into the cooling fan
intake.
