CHECKING THE OIL
See Figures 8 - 9.
The air compressor is pre-filled with the proper type and
quantity of oil. However, it is necessary to check the oil level
before each use, and add oil if needed.
NOTE: Always check the oil when the unit is sitting on a
level surface.
n Insert the dipstick into the oil fill hole until it stops. Remove
the dipstick and check the oil level.
n Make sure the reading is between the MIN and MAX
reference levels on the dipstick.
NOTE: Never let the oil drop to a level lower than MIN.
Maximum level is reached when the oil reaches the MAX
level reference on the dipstick.

To add oil:
n Remove the dipstick.
n Using a funnel, carefully pour oil into the oil fill hole. Refill
only with synthetic oil SAE 5W40.
