NOTICE
Never run this compressor without a full oil reservoir. The oil provides lubrication to the cylinder rings, which deliver the compressed air. Severe damage to the internal mov- ing parts can occur if there is not adequate oil flow. Check the oil level frequently, and change the oil every 3 months.
6.Remove the oil breather (inset in Figure 6) on top of the crankcase and add compressor oil, or ISO 100/SAE 30W

NOTICE The oil breather releases excess pressure from the crankcase. Clogged holes in the oil breather can lead to damaged oil seals, gas- kets, and may cause the compres- sor to seize.
