Overfilling with oil will cause premature
compressor failure. Do not overfill,
Check oil level in the crankcase before each use. The oil
level should be even with the top of the fillhole and must
not be allowed to be lower than _/8"from the top (6
threads down from the top) at any time. It is recom-
mended that the oil in the base (52) be changed after
every 100hours of operation. Todrain the oil,remove the
oil drain plug (51) and collect the oil in a Suitable con-
tainer. Be sure to replace the plug securely before
adding new oil. Use a special compressor oil, such as
Sears 9-16426 or SAE 20-20W SF motor oil (crankcase
oil capacity is 16 fluid ounces). Under extreme winter
conditions use SAE 10W oil,
Location of Air Compressor
Locate the unit in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated
area. The compressor crankcase and head are
designed with fins which allow for proper cooling: Clean
or blow off fins and any other parts of the compressor
that collect dust Ordirt. A clean compressor runscooler
and provides longer service. Do not place rags, contain_
ers or other material on or against the console which
would obstruct ventilation openings necessary for prop:
er compressor operating temperature. If humidity is
high, a Sears Air Filter can be installed on the air outlet
adapter to remove excess moisture. Follow the instruc-
lions packaged with the air filter for proper installation.

The motor is mounted on an adjustable motor base. By
loosening the wing nut (31), the motor can be tilted in to
allow for easy tightening or removal ofthe belt (74).
To replace belt:
1. Unplug unit from power source before repairing.
2. Remove screws (I) from the front and rear of the
console. Remove console (2).
3. Loosen wing nut (31) and tilt motor in.
4. Remove belt and replace with new.
Note
The belt should be centered over the grooves
on the flywheel and motor pulley.
5_PUsh the motor back intoregular position and tighten
wing nut securely. Proper tensionis approximately V="
belt deflection measured midway between the pulley
and flywheel when a 3 pound weight or equivalent
finger pressure isapplied at thispoint. A loose belt will
squeal at unit start-up.
6. Replace console (2) and screws (1).
Storage
When you have finished using the compressor, do the
following before storage:
1. Set the On-Auto!Off switch to OFF and unplug the
cord.
2. Relieve all pressure from the air tank.
3. Drain the water from the air tank, then close the drain
valve.
4. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage
caused by being stepped on or run over. Roll them
loosely around the OUtfithandle.
