Risk of of Bursting. 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.
6.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, then reinstalled.
Oil
Risk of Bursting. Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the dipstick or oil drain plug. See “To Drain
Tank” in this section.
Risk of Burns. Compressor head and cylinder sleeve are very hot. Do not touch. Allow compressor to cool prior
to servicing.
Risk from Flying Objects. Make sure air
vent (C) 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.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Overfilling
with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.

1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF” and unplug unit.
2.Remove dipstick (A) and check oil on dipstick for visual signs of contaminants (water, dirt, etc).
3.Wipe oil from dipstick.
4.Replace dipstick and allow oil to collect on dipstick.
5.Remove dipstick and check oil level on dipstick, + mark indicates full and the - mark indicates add oil. If oil level is below - mark, slowly add oil until it reaches the + (full) mark on the dipstick.
NOTE: Use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as
6.Replace dipstick (A).
Changing
1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF” and unplug unit.
2.Remove the dipstick (A).
3.Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain oil into a suitable container.
4.Replace the oil drain plug (B).
5.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.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
6.Replace dipstick (A).
