To Add Oil To Pump
Risk of Unsafe Operation. 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.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. 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.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like
10W 30, 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 air compressor oil such as SAE-30 (API CG/CD heavy duty
motor oil). Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
Risk from Flying Object. Drain tank to release air pressure
before removing the dipstick. See "To Drain Tank" in
Maintenance section.
Risk from Flying Object. Make sure air vent (B) in dipstick
is free from debris. If air vent is blocked pressure can build
in crankcase causing damage to air
compressor and possible personal
injury. See Troubleshooting for
correction.
2. Remove dipstick (A) and slowly fill
crankcase with oil. Crankcase
capacity is 8 fluid ounces (236.6 ml).
Oil level should be at the + (full) mark
on the dipstick.
NOTE: If the oil is added too quickly, it will
overflow and appear to be full.
3. Replace dipstick.
