Maintenance

WARNING

To prevent serious injury from accidental starting:

Turn the Power Switch of the equipment to its “OFF” position, release tank air pressure, wait for the engine to cool, and disconnect the spark plug cap before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

To prevent serious injury from equipment failure:

Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise, vibration, or excess smoking occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Follow all service instructions in this manual. The engine may fail critically if not serviced properly.

Maintenance Procedures

Many maintenance procedures, including any not detailed in this manual, will need to be performed by a qualified technician for safety. If you have any doubts about your ability to safely service the equipment or engine, have a qualified technician service the equipment instead.

Compressor Pump Oil

Maintenance

Check oil periodically for clarity. Replace oil if it appears milky or if debris is present, or every 6 months, or

100 hours of runtime, whichever comes first. In harsh environments such as high heat or high humidity, you will need to replace the oil more frequently.

Change the compressor oil after the first hour of use to remove any debris.

Adding Oil

Crankcase (16)

Oil Sight Glass (19)

OIL LEVEL

 

 

overfill

 

full

 

low

1.The oil level should be at the center of the “full” level on the Oil Sight Glass, as shown above. Add oil as needed to maintain this level. Do not let the oil level go below the center dot (LOW as shown above) and do not overfill the oil so that it is above the center dot

(OVERFILL as shown above) on the Oil Sight Glass.

2.To add oil:

a.Remove the Oil Plug (17).

b.Using a funnel to avoid spills, pour enough oil into the pump Crankcase to reach the “full” level in the Oil Sight Glass.

c.Replace the Oil Plug.

Cold Weather Operation

Premium quality 30-weight, non-detergent air compressor oil (sold separately) is recommended for use with this compressor. Start compressor in heated area if outdoor temperatures drop below 32° F. If this is not practical, drain out the old pump oil and use SAE 10W Non-detergent Air Compressor Oil in the pump crankcase instead whenever the compressor’s temperature will fall below 40°. Do not use multi- viscosity oil (such as 10W-30), they leave carbon deposits on pump components and lead to accelerated failure. Heavy operation may require heavier viscosity oil.

3.If uncertain which oil to use for this compressor, please call Harbor Freight Tools customer service at 1-800‑444-3353 for assistance.

WARNING! To prevent serious injury from burns: Do not add or change the oil while the compressor is in operation. Allow the compressor to cool before replacing oil.
