2. Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly
add a compressor oil until it is
even with the top of the oil fill
hole. NOTE: Do not allow oil to
be lower than 3/8" (6 threads)
from the top at any time. 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: Crankcase oil capacity is
approximately 16 fluid ounces.
3. Replace oil fill plug.
To Add Oil To Pump
Compressors are
shipped without
oil. A small amount of oil may be
present in the pump upon receipt
of the air compressor. This is
due to plant testing and does not
mean the pump contains oil. Do
not attempt to operate this air
compressor without first adding oil
to the crankcase. Serious damage
can result from even limited
operation unless filled with oil and
broken in correctly. Make sure
to closely follow initial start-up
procedures.
Multi-Viscosity
motor oils, like
10W30, should not be used in an
air compressor. They leave carbon
deposits on critical components,
thus reducing performance
and compressor life. Use air
compressor oil only.
NOTE: Use an oil specifically formu-
lated for use in an air compressor,
such as Sears 9-16426 air compres-
sor oil. Oil may be found at the store
where the air compressor was pur-
chased.
