Oil
Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the oil
fill cap or oil drain plug.
Checking
1. Remove the oil fill plug (A). The oil level should be even with the top of the
fill hole and no lower than 6 threads from the top of fill hole.
2. If needed, slowly add oil until it reaches the top of fill hole.
NOTE: Oil is included with some units. If oil is not included, use an oil
specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as Porter-Cable PAS1
air compressor oil. Oil may be found at the store where the air compressor was
purchased.
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. NOTE:
Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ouncs
(473.2 ml)
Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor
failure. Do not overfill.
5. Replace oil fill plug (A) and tighten securely.

To Drain Tank
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2. Close the globe valve.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank
until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
5. Close the globe valve.
6. 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.
7. 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, and reinstalled.
