Air Filter - Inspection and
Replacement
Hot surfaces.
Risk of burn.
Compressor heads are exposed
when fi lter cover is removed.
Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
Keep the air fi lter
clean at all times.
Do not operate the air compressor
with the air fi lter removed.
A dirty air fi lter will not allow the
compressor pump to operate at
full capacity. Before using the
compressor pump, check the air
fi lter to make sure it is clean and in
place.
If it is dirty, replace it with a new filter.
1. Remove the air
filter cover.
2. Remove the air
filter from filter
cover.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate
the compressor with the air filter
removed.
Oil
Drain tank to
release air pressure
before removing the oil fi ll cap or oil
drain plug.
Checking
1. Remove the oil
fi ll plug (A). The
oil level should
be even with the
top of the fi ll hole
and no lower
than 6 threads
from the top of
fi ll hole.
2. If needed, slowly add oil until it
reaches the top of fi ll hole.
NOTE: Use an oil specifi cally
formulated for use in an air
compressor, such as Sears 9-16426
air compressor oil.

To Drain Tank
1. Push down and hold engine stop
lever until engine shuts off.
2. Remove the air tool or accessory.
3. Pull ring on safety valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately 20
psi. Release safety valve ring.
4. Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve (counter-
clockwise) on bottom of tank.
Water will
condense in the
air tank. If not drained, water will
corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve (clockwise).
The air compressor can now be
stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.
Changing
1. Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2. Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
drain oil into a suitable container.
3. Replace the oil drain plug (B) and
tighten securely
4. Slowly fill crankcase to the top of
the fill hole. Crankcase capacity
is 16 fluid ounces (473.2 ml).
Overfi lling with
oil will cause
premature compressor failure. Do
not overfi ll.
5. Replace oil fill plug (A) and
tighten securely.
